But Getthem1, no one's disputing most of your points, or Beenthere's either, for that matter. In most instances, I think people will tend to agree with most of your assertions. The disparity, in my opinion, lies in the approach.

I think most on here consider it just generally bad karma to sit and bash something we have money in. I think you'll find that the collective mentality is that a little hope just makes more sense, or at least makes us feel a little better until a definitive need to feel otherwise. We choose to consider the possibility that eventually the company will find some traction and begin a slow transition to normalcy. I know for me personally, while the company's doors remain open, I'll continue to hope that something positive will eventually happen, because I'd be foolish to do otherwise at this point. And many on this board, if not most, feel the same way.

Most truly do not feel at this point that this is a scam. There is no evidence to support the theory. Non-starter? Possibly. Mismanaged at every turn? Truth be known, probably right on the money. The most likely scenario is that Petty is a good salesman, but grossly out of his league as a CEO, and that his group is in the process of overcoming one screw-up after another. That's just my honest opinion, but I have a feeling a quorum of fellow board members feel the same way.
