You mean people both bash and praise a company, as they see fit? Why are we surprised at this? They do it because the actions of the particular company allow them, almost compel them, to do so. As long as companies produce inconsistencies, traders/investors/speculators/gamblers, whatever you want to call them(us, should exploit those inconsistencies. Not bashing MDMI in particular here. It is those inconsistencies, truly human qualities, that produce volatility across the entire market(BBs, NAZ, and the NYSE as well). Now, if the person is planting falsehoods(positive or negative) then that is a different story. However, if they are merely exploiting positive and negative FACTS, then that sounds to me like they are shrewd and savvy. TG

Ladies and gentlemen: This thread is not about me. I want to end this pointless debate once and for all with these thoughts: Criticism and bashing are two entirely different things. Yes, I have often criticized MDMI and their ineffectual PR firm, Laguardia GFS, for their poor communication. There is a long trail of posts you can look at and you'll see that my negative remarks were meant to be constructive, not to bash or hurt the company. OK, maybe borderline bashing on a few occasions I became very frustrated by their silence. But, on balance, I do think the positive direction this company is finally taking is because I and a few others have gotten on their case. On the other hand, hollow hyping and cheerleading do nothing to help the company or the stock price. Often, the most vocal praise is done by two-faced liars looking to pump the stock and get out with a quick profit. That's why you see such a high volume and no gains. I'm not going to post a detailed resume of my sixteen month participation in this thread, but if you look at my profile, you'll see a long list of old messages you might do well to check before posting nonsense like the me being a "Jeckyl and Hyde" or a basher. You might be surprised to see I've been pretty consistent. So, ladies and gentlemen: This thread is not about me. Please, don't respond to this message on the thread. The discussions here should center on MDMI, not any individual poster. If you have something to say to me personally, send me PM. Sincerely, _________________________ Marc Stager
