Perhaps we can all pony up and get nospaces an escort. From the looks of it he has no social life and hangs around the board all weekend just waiting for a post so he can cut and paste. Nursery school flashbacks I suppose.

The question space is do you prefer female or male?

Nobody is happy with the current price of the stock and no one finds you even mildly amusing. I can see you now sitting back in your rented, poorly furnished studio apartment bummimg because you put your life savings into a penny stock that has yet to perform.

Most of us have our hard earned money sitting in ETPI and we would like to be made profitable. Everyone here knows your constant crying doesn't help. I see no purpose to continually bashing a stock that you are long in. I guess you couldn't extort any free shares from Doug.

As far as hiding behind a cowardly lion, anytime, anyplace. Get in the ring. Hey everyone, space tried to get me kicked off SI. I would like to hear an opinion from all fellow investors on the matter.

Your Servant.

Wow. I feel honored you read it and remembered it. re your comment: you have merely demonstrated your own incompetence in the art of communication, accomplishing not one iota of value. After all, isn't that the ultimate purpose of communications? Doug Butcher is still incompetent.

Nospaces

Let's look at some of the statements that ithasnospaces evidently considers creative writing:
"You should never have skipped proofreading for fingerpainting in that Montessori class. " (#4426)
"Here's something new for you to try: Try Thinking." (#4418)
"Hey! You're really Dale on "King of the Hill"!" (#4378)
"Unlike Marcus who's just obviously lost his ability to think in a tragic pithing accident." (#4368)
"Take that finger out of your nose, we're almost home!" (#4368)
"Its nice to know that your home schooling paid off" (#4358)
"Oh Lord, please provide me with competition worthy of the desire you given me to rid the world of incompentents." (#4348)
"OK Herr Doktor:" (#4348)
"Damn! There I go anthropomorphosizing (sic) again! Clearly none jumping your synaptic gaps." (#4339)
"Geez, how on Earth did you ever get that GED?" (#4334)
"No wait, you pretty much provide a level of comic relief that, yes, even I find envious." (#4334)
"I'm sorry electrons died so you could provide your useless drivel" (#4334)
------------
Does this supposed campaigner for competence at ETPI actually expect to find people here to converse with him about critical ETPI issues when he displays the civility of an amoeba? Does he expect to influence people to change their minds? Obviously this is a very angry person whose venom turns self-destructive, as long-term constructive contributors to this thread publicly declare that they are ignoring him.
ithasnospaces >>> You do need to restructure your attitude on this thread so that those who might agree with you are willing to say so in public. Otherwise you are like a candle flame in a hurricane wind, certain to be extinguished.
If a voice cries out in the wilderness, but those who might hear have covered their ears, is there any meaningful communication? If your messages compel those who could hear to refuse to respond to you, you have merely demonstrated your own incompetence in the art of communication, accomplishing not one iota of value.

Angry is probably correct. You're not angry about this performance? Venom self-destructive? Its more cathartic. Except for Marcus, he's just too easy.

Ignore me? Fine. But I have plenty of private messages stating they are afraid of posting because Marcus might hunt them down too. Yes, Marcus, you appear to have quieted comments because of your threats. Who wants to quote and be threatened with being tracked down? Its easier to let evil win.

If we want to discuss the merits of this stock then lets do so.

1. Is this company's management incompentent or competent. Please provide examples. I vote incompetent:
i. No independent board
ii. Poor stock performance
iii. Lack of competent PR
iv. Apparent inability to delegate at the top
v. Failure to deliver proxies on time
vi. Investments (Arlington's Heros) almost opening and closing on the same day
This is just across the top. Please anyone feel free to argue the opposite position with historical examples

2. Does this company appear to be headed in the right direction?
i. No investments recently have paid off.
ii. We hear the same story about profitability as last year at the same time (check messages)
iii. We are now saying look at how much we will make if it goes to .30. But most are in for far more

Thats a good start.
