Thanks for all the welcoming comments. One thing I will never do here is disparage anyone who actually brings something relevant to the discussion, even if I don't agree with their take on things. I do intend on posting more frequently as we get closer and closer to our collective dream (even if it's only to vent, as my rising blood pressure over the past month is rumored to have triggered this morning's quake- and I live in FL!).
One thing I hope to be able to add to the board is something I have had to learn the hard way: There is no sense in becoming upset over that which we have no control. What can we control? We can buy more shares, or we can sell our shares. Sometimes we can even thwart an an attempt to grant more options to our esteemed BOD. What we can't control is who's gonna be left standing after the dust clears from the most important battle in the history of IDCC. So, either buy shares and root like hell for an IDCC victory, or sell put it behind you.
