chsmoke, in the last 2 weeks I've average slightly more than 3 posts per day, and didn't post at all on 4 of of those days.

That compares to an average for months on end of around 13 per day.

As I lose interest in this as an investment, I'm posting less.

But when I see some people saying this is now at bargain prices and trying to encourage newcomers to buy in, it sometimes gets me going again..the willful ignorance by longs here is truly astounding.

"you must get off on provoking". In real life I'm seen as easy going, although I might gently challenge someone on occasion so it's caused me some internal conflict...I have reflected some on my motivations. My main goal for a very long time was simply to see the price drop by pulling away the curtain on this investment and exposing the reality of their proximity to commercialization in hopes that if the price got low enough to entice me I might buy in.

It ended up being a far more difficult and time consuming task than I ever had anticipated. Unfortunately because of the constant posting of Proto and some others, this necessitated a lot of posting by me so newbies could see the 'other side perspective'. Some believe postings don't affect people's buy/sell decisions, but I do not agree. There is no question this stock has a lot of traders that rely on this board so it has a real effect. How much effect, of course, is debatable.

To your point -- a side effect of my efforts was the incredible magnitude of emotionally-charged reactions of the board which both shocked and entertained me - which I guess is somewhat of a potent combination that provided some attraction and by themselves spurred further posting by me. I've never been treated so harshy and judged so inaccurately in my life. So, yeah I guess sometimes I would get off on provoking but that was all contained within my desire to get a reasonable valuation here.

But the more I learned the less interested I got. Since I no longer see even $2 as a 'reasonable' valuation, it's not as big a part of my life anymore..unfortunately as I was hoping this could be my dream stock someday. So when I look back at this - while there is some satisfaction that the price has proven me to be correct, I see my involvement here as largely a waste of time at this point. So, some mixed feelings for sure, and some sense of real disappointment at my choices.

So I'm posting far less, but the vitriol toward me from others of course has lingered on by those who refused to learn.
