Pears, we all know you like being the "Devil's Advocate," but I really think that your neurotic, bi-polar tendencies are weighing in again. Please take a step back, and stop being so negative to the point where your scaring people away. Listen to Chump and others who have not been the "rah rah" type of posters, but base their statements on solid forward looking evidence. Just because you don't understand how a company cannot survive without a BO, does not mean that the company will fail. There is a lot going on that none of us know about. Just let the process continue as it has been. Perhaps a few pennies "north of 80 cents" might help as well.
We all know you mean well, but really, sometimes you just fall back into old habits.
