Donk, thanks for your continuous rebuttal to the incessant manipulators. Many longs can't afford the time but we all appreciate your thoughtful wit. Tic tic is right.

It now seems that the primary message of company promoters and management is "it's all the shorts fault". Certainly that message provides an emotional outlet for frustrated retail investors that still cling to the dream. Activity of the shorts may explain some share price pressure, but not the inability of the company or its products to deliver on the long list of promises.

Did the shorts forecast a $40 million quarterly run rate?

But, it is refreshing to see some acknowledge the company was in dire straits in November, and had to do a deal with the devil (Anson) to stay afloat. The question must be asked: just how bad was the company's financial condition to do a deal that let Anson escape with a massive profit, and equip them with free warrants as well?

It's interesting to review this iHub conversation from November:

"On the next cc, will management be able to talk about how SnapCloud is selling? When I go to the Azure marketplace, you can search amongst 3,487 products and find SnapCloud. How is it doing? Have we cracked the top 3,000 in sales, the top 2,000??? Let us know that it is selling in the next cc, or are we not allowed as the mistress to say anything about anything."

The reply:

"I would just ask how SnapCloud is doing, they might not be able to give us current revenue figures as would fall under this quarter, but if its going well, which some (incl. myself) believe, then I can't imagine management not being proud of that.

Its success would certainly also be a great indicator for the potential success of GW on the Azure platform... "

Question: It is now six months plus since those posts. And yet in the most recent CC, the company refused to provide insight into the success or failure of their key products on Azure. "We don't have access to that information".

Does anyone believe that Microsoft does not provide that critical system resource usage data to its partners and customers? I wonder why they wouldn't talk about it? Perhaps the baby is ugly........
