Completely true. Same opinion of that. That's not the topic or issue at hand.
In addition... boards are generally, although admittedly not exclusively, populated by shareholders. That lends itself to a more positive/hopeful tone. And those who exist to corrupt that are simply disingenuous. To your point, though, I have no love for baseless pumps/predictions, either. I'm pretty outspoken about that on the boards I frequent, no problem.
