schaef,
I acknowledge that soft values have an impact. I do not believe that I have said anything to the contrary. TATF is not a public company so many of previously said things are not pertinent. Steve may continue to pump resources into TATF, but the TATF business model of the past 17yrs has already failed. Just look at the last 17 yrs verses the projections. It is clear to many of us.
I will not have my investment held hostage over me to stay quiet and hope and pray in silence and ignorance (without communication from TATF). That is essentially what you and TATF are asking. You are endorsing perpetuating the myth by drawing in other tree owners to support the model.
I fail to understand how the Brunners expect to sell trees when they shut the door on communications to existing tree owners. This should be MADE CLEAR TO PERSPECTIVE TREE OWNERS before they join our cult.
All that I have been asking for in regards to TATF is that they treat tree owners respectfully in the sense that they communicate to us as a group, and not just oiling the squeaky wheel. I have volunteered to make this communication confidential before via a non-disclosure agreement. Frank, open communication is all that I request, for positive, neutral, or negative news.
