Erik/Zndant: You are the ones who see what you want to see. I see all the information and back up plenty to see the overall bigger picture.
When I first came to this board, more than a couple weeks ago as you hinted, I was curious as to the bashers attitude. "What's the point" I thought. What is to be gained? Now, (and no, I am not a basher by any means) I look at the smiley-faced pumpers and think the same thing. "What's the point? What is to be gained by ignoring facts and making up happy endings to things that go wrong?" It's all the same. Basher or Pumper, they are both useless.
I have offered plenty to this board and will continue to as long as I hold my shares. Try to see both sides of every issue (as I have tried) and you will be a lot less offended by what I post. When a post is overtly positive, I look at the other side and weigh the differences. When a post is of a basher nature, I do the same thing. When posts are well thought out and look at both sides, I can begin to see what the poster is trying to say. All of my posts that you would consider 'bashing' are replies to over the top skippidy-do-dah pumping (IMO). Maybe I should include the original posts, or go into more detail, but I dont' have that much time. I'll try to be more neutral and work on my clarity so people like you can feel at ease with labeling me whatever it is you want to label me.
I wish you all your due millions... If we all paddle from the same side of the raft, we will travel in circles. I see myself striving to evenly paddle from both sides, with my head up looking at the horizon. The sun, she's a comin' up, that's fer sure. But we'll never get there if we don't look at things as a neutral observer.
