Catchnrel, nicely said. I agree

First of all the notion that a "happy investor board" will somehow prop up the price a security for any period of time is absolute and utter nonsense. Do you really believe that institutional investors and serious private investors are going to BUY AND HOLD based on some happy message board climate? This is completely delusional.

The real goal of the board should be to seek and anticipate the relevant truth. If you believe in the company, you should have no fear of the truth. Now, that doesn't mean that the truth is going to be in every post, and there are indeed matters of opinion. When someone posts information or an opinion with which you disagree, you should attempt to explain why you believe differently or expose its inaccuracies. It's not always pretty, but in the end, this marketplace of ideas serves the greatest good for all.
