On that topic, Johnnie, IMHO, and if my memory isn't failing me, the civility of the board has always gone up and down, but not necessarily based on the standing of the company's stock, contemporary press releases, or even company related events (although they do become topics of conversation).
The tone of conversation and civility usually changes when posts with obvious self serving intent start showing up. Those posts usually contain obvious misdirections and or misleading reports.
Discussing the latest topics and history of CGFI, your opinion of it's accomplishments and shortcomings, the possibilities of upcoming events, are all healthy exercises. The tone of the discussion, common respect for other's opinions and an honest effort to be willing to share the sources of the data one posts is the key to keeping the conversation civil.
No reflection on you, Johnnie, or any criticism of you intended. This is just my humble observation and opinion as a long time reader of CGFI's discussion board.
Please, everyone, be respectful of each other's opinion. We are here to share information and help answer sincere questions that anyone may have about CGF. There will always be disagreements on the meaning or indications of events. You can challenge the opinion, or the source of the information. Attacks directed at the poster, is not allowed.
Keeping one's emotions in check and treating the other posters with respect is the key to keeping the board civil. (That and maybe a couple of shared rounds of grog every now and then!!)
Answer questions, and question the answers. We all benefit through civil, honest discussion.
(Ok, I'm off the soapbox for now.)
Have an enjoyable holiday everyone!!
