Vinney... are you (or anyone else) going to the annual meeting on Monday?? If so, what questions do you have in mind ?? BTW, I spent a lot of time on the Yahoo board yesterday researching posts and I came to the realization, like you, that these boards are really deteriorating. The shorts and bashers absolutely destroy any meaningful dialog re the pros and cons of a stock and the boards are therefore becoming useless. When the sites become more aware of this and the number of lawsuits increases, I think they will all install "ignore" features if they want to keep up their revenue and/or their advertising resources. Its time for them to start thinking about it. The internet is too big and too valuable for these companies to ignore the problem much longer, especially SI who charges for the "priviledge" of posting. Cheers.... Mac

I agree, there is little left for the nay-sayers to say now except "I told you so". If that is the purpose of GO North and Dagan, then they have made their point and should move on. It is my feeling that hidden in their messages is an appreciable perspective, but it is so over-shadowed with the multitude of worthless attacks on people that it has lost its meaning, and I have been drawn into that previously as well. I guess what I'm saying is that if everyone stepped back and calmed down, perhaps the thread could achieve an exchange of opinions without the name calling. I'm probably being nieve since the blood obviously runs cold between Go North/Dagan and a great many people on the thread, but no colder than between me and Dave Kiernan, but privately we agreed to bury the hatchet (I should credit him for initiating the truce). I should also say that it seems to me that Go North and Dagan are not the only guilty parties when it comes to the current situation on this thread, I think everybody shares in the blame equally. GM PS I would appreciate anybody who could correct my spelling, I'm drawing a blank on nieve.
