OT. jmspaesq, obviously, you have a lot to contribute. I just don't understand why you and a few others won't let the options and PR issue move from the front to the back burner. Jim and many other have asked eveyone to move on, and yet IMO, your posts last night did nothing but feed the flames. You opened the door to ORION's posts. I disagree with his tone but not the content. You and others insist on names, and Art claimed he had them. It was legit to ask for them, as, at this point, perhaps that's the only way we can bring closure to this issue.
Through no fault of Jims, this board has become a shell of its former self. IMO, it's just a small step up from yahoo. When I first learned of this company and the RB board, I recommended both to several friends due to the high level of discourse. It was a breath of fresh air and second to none on the internet. Today, I would not recommend this board to anyone.
I bring no expertise in the subjects routinely discussed relevent to our investment. That is why I have been primarily a lurker for the past 3 yrs. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say and admit that I have done a large part of my DD from the RB board. How often are most investors able to do real DD about their investments? Previously, I was comfortable with coming to this forum for real insights about the pros and cons of this story. How many lurkers who have previously relied on this thread (due to the incredibly high level of discourse) for valuable insights are now losing out because sooo many contributors appear to be walking away due to the deterioration of this forum? Nothing personal, but despite your abilities to add value here, this board has continued its downward slide since your reemergence. The board needs closure to the PR and options issues.
Don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I have always considered rmarchma a value added contributor, and now he or whoever comes to his defense is guilty until proven innocent.
I'm on the verge of divorce cause my wife says I've been ignoring the kids and she's right. Have a good day.
