Tappy,
I believe what you state "and I 'work' for ATRS" is a good philosophy to have when you are an investor and shareholder and I know what you mean. It's a win-win situation for all the right reasons.
And the thoughts about mgmt actually engaging on message boards is a waste. They don't and wouldn't as you note. The only person that sometimes reads the ymb that I know of is Jack and he does so when he has a conversation with a poster (once they reveal themselves and he always trys to get a name up front and if not then he notes that - and the legitimate message board posters state up front who the are and what there alias is) and then Jack will monitor the board to see if that person has posted and/or represented their conversation appropriately. And he does this because he cares.
So getting back to the philosophy of "and I work for ATRS", I guess my own example is when I saw a ymb poster, "nthnsh" post that he talked with Jack and after reading what he wrote, his post didn't make sense and I called Jack and also sent him the post by nthnsh. The poster never called Jack, the poster was lying. And as we all know, that board has a host of liars. Then the poster stated it was 4-6 wks ago that he called. Never happened said Jack again. You see, Jack apparently is very thorough in what he does. He keeps a detailed phone log of all calls he gets and the subject matter. Jack even knows I have a copy cat on the ymb. So, in calling out this poster, I work for my investment, ATRS. Also, as you know, Antares mgmt loves the retail investor. Now there are subgroups of retail investors - you can be a short, a day trader, a flipper, and a long term investor. They love the long term retail investors who gets it. The others are a detriment to the value of the stock.
That's my weekend brain dump!
Have a good rest of the weekend!!
