Ok, So I just got off work and finally read through all of the posts. Keep in mind, Im'ma be very honest here. I understood everything TH was asking today, but, I too, considering her a very good friend here, thought they came across a little aggressive. But knowing her and what events have transpired over the past 2 weeks, I understand why. Details about the Store Locator being (pretty much) inaccurate; and PR's (in the past) that get released which are not specific to the fact that we are in a "trial" phase can frustrate anyone. Especially when they bring up these great points and no one engages in a intelligent debate or conversation about it.

I say all of this to say those who have been my "friends" around here stay quiet as not to get kicked out of the club..all the while sending me pm's cheering me on. Save it. I don't need those kinds of friends.

I have always been a very opinionated person. I know many people read this board and can acknowledge that I try to be open minded about everything...good and bad... IMO, there are very few of us here that do that... TH is defiantly one of them, and I respect her opinion more-so than most here will ever understand. When she questions certain aspects of the company, she doesn't do it to "cause a stir", she genuinely wants others to accompany her in a conversation that will hopefully answer her questions or any other readers who were to afraid to ask them. But it's sad to say that it's like pulling teeth to get certain people to broaden there opinion range, "publicly", whether overly negative or overly positive. The problem is, people here really do have good/well-rounded opinions, but like she said, they try to "save face" by not discussing anything outside of their "public" opinion, on the "public" board...They either keep quiet when something that could be construed as negative arises or they try to discredit the poster who originally brought up "that" topic in the first place.

Theres one thing to Pump...another to Bash...but can we not find more levelheaded individuals? For those that never speak up when the board is in discussions with questions and concerns, then IMO, I usually label you a quiet pumper, and I usually receive your overall opinions equally to a basher...

I think TH is just as frustrated as I am with the facts that have came to light over the past few days and her overall posts today may have rub some the wrong way. But understanding her posting style, I realize she made some great points but just not in the best way. We had great news today but the tone of the board would of made you think different. Very negative atmosphere today I must say, and for what? We just got confirmation that we are in almost 400 additional stores vice a trial period...which is good.

I think TH will be back sooner than later, but I hope people can start engaging in good conversation instead of doing what they are doing now, which is either ignoring the concerns, or trying to put glitter over them....

P.S...TH, your just like me in a way, and I value your posts more than most here. I hope you don't plan on leaving me by myself in this wilderness of a board here...cause "I don't need those kind of friends".... j/k
