thetide,
While it is doubtful that you would welcome a response to your 'unquestionable' thought, I have an observation of my own that seems to connect. Ignore it or digest it as you wish.
..there seems, with regards to DNAPrint genomics, to be a different kind of animal progressing before our conflicted eyes.
"Different kind of animal" is a thought provoking phrase, given it's connection to the field of genetics. It puts one in mind of evolutionary processes, mutations, natural selection, evolving lifeforms and environmental niches. (It does me, anyway.lol)
My observation of this company over the last half a decade suggests that the company has evolved dramatically from it's initial environmental niche. It has gradually over time changed it's purpose. It has modified it's nutrition source(s), it has explored several configurations, taken up some and abandoned others. It is most definitely not the same animal that many of us were initially attracted to those many years ago. It is a different kind of animal.
It's ability to extract sustenance from it's environment has increased dramatically, whether the current revenue stream can be maintained is a major question. How it interacts with it's prey has changed over time as it has learned from it's mistakes.
It's environment has changed as well, from the internet bubble economy that spawned it to todays toxic financed jungle, it has had to adapt along the way to the changing circumstances.
Unfortunately for us, the current prey, we cannot determine from our own vantage point whether the method by which we provide the sustenance is more representative of a symbiotic relationship or a parasitic one. All we know is that we are losing blood.
In summary, the animal has changed. Whether it has stuck to it's original path (noble cause or scam) or has evolved a new direction (again noble cause or scam) is not yet completely apparent. Unfortunately, the only ones that could tell us, won't speak to us. (Perhaps that is telling enough.)
regards,
frog
