Musings pertaining to the new board:
1. What happens to paid up lifetime members, who are way out of line.? How will they be dealt with?
2. Does paying $130 to this board somehow limit our leverage. With many of the most significant contributors signed up on this board, will we be more hesitant about jumping ship again?
3. We have been on this board for only a few days and we are already learning that there is consideration of rules changes regarding a reduction in posts from 18 to 10 for the "free" members. What can we expect the rules to be a year from now?
4. This board will probably change hands as most boards eventually do. The new owners will not know us and probably not give us the kind of attention we are getting now.
5. If we win the Ericy dispute, I won't mind paying an increased rate to this board. If we lose, I doubt that I'll be too involved with IDCC on any board.
With these things in mind, I think I'll invest my $130 in 7 or 8 more shares of IDCC and review my options after the 1/31 deadline for lifetime owners. There will probably be other promotions down the road anyway. Sorry if I've offended some loyalists here. I'm just trying to apply the same principles to paying for this board as I do in paying for my other investments
