Hi Z, no one can blame any longs for looking for an out that retains costs, at a minimum. A number of us were out, mostly or entirely, not long after the AMF thing started, or somewhere along the time since. Luckily after some drops before I was fully out I still managed a little above a 3x on what I had at risk at the peak. It did not take too long for me to decide being fully out was the way to go (and I was already working with only free shares by then, but my gain was much less than it could have been) . . . seeing Richard not taking the AMF thing at all seriously as an allegation against the company, and seeing the warm support for Andrew, combined with the continued lack of progress and lack of display of a hard business plan and objective timeline was enough.
I have seen many longs switch camps from GO WDRP signoffs to posts critical of the company behavior and lack of progress or transparency. Hoping for some pps recovery, or upticks, to allow recovery is natural, and one thing, but I still feel it is dangerous to let it spill over into hope for the company or possible product. I see this spill over in your statements "At least they really are working with Intertek" and "You have to admit we are closer to something rather than nothing" for neither of which do I see irrefutable evidence. With luck enough do or will, allowing those past the spill over effect to whittle their way out on the ups and downs that (may) remain.
