I'll answer your questions one by one... but first... Just so we're clear, here is the post I was responding to:
"Personally, I am not interested in being part of an organization to go after infringers internationally, just give so much a share of what we won yesterday for my investment in UOIP and I am happy.
The rest is like you said above is a pipe dream.
Besides, I am too old to wait for anything else"
1. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion
2. No harm unless it affects sentiment or reduces the value of everyone's shares

Ok, now let me try to be a little more clear in what I was trying to respond to. He does not want to go after international. So.. that's fine, but then that means he ABSOLUTELY should be for re-listing. I totally get that people don't want to wait for years to get more money.... I don't either... but He's saying give me my share of this and I'm happy, I don't want anymore, I'll go away. That's not an opinion. WHat harm does it do if he gets a check 5 years down the road for an additional amount? Will he not cash it?
Frankly, I think we are all a little worn down by this thing and don't want to be thinking about another case that could drag for years....Totally get that, and in fact that's how I feel too... but I do vehemently disagree with any "opinion" that throws away future economic value for no apparent gain. If we re-list... then those who aren't interested in waiting that out( a perspective I'd fully share) are welcome to sell or donate their shares and still capture a part of the economic value. If we don't relist, same thing, except we're all sitting around waiting and maybe our heirs get the additional funds instead of us.
I really don't get where one would disagree with me here. If you hold McDOnald's stock and it does well this year, it's not like you're going to say... "Well, this is such a great year, just give me this dividend and forget the rest for future years"... That's not even... possible. I mean, you could donate your shares, but unless you do, you still own them, and own the rights to whatever profits/returns come from them.
I must have really done a bad job of expressing myself the first time because I just don't see where anyone wouldn't see things this way. Am I missing something?
