No discomfort here. Whenever the competitors are listed on this board I have a look at what they provide and makes me even more confident in JBI's technology. I do wish that when competitors are listed that full and not partial information is listed. Repeatedly I've seen companies listed as "real competition" and again and again it has to be explained why they are not real competition, it's been happening since I started reading this board over a year ago.

JBII competitive and adjacent space conversations are very germane to this board even if it makes some uncomfortable.



It doesn't make me "uncomfortable," but I do not think it is helpful (and indeed can be deceptive) if no commentary is offered to explain how the information regarding the other company impacts considerations pertinent to JBI (pro or con). If, for example, we were discussing the gains or pitfalls of some other company producing fuel from plastic, and then drawing a comparison to JBI, that is indeed worthwhile discussion. If, on the other hand, we are copying and pasting the permit timeline of some other company in the broad energy sector (producing energy from some source other than plastic), and one which is seeking permits other than those presently required of JBI, then such information does not help us understand any issue pertaining to JBI. The reader is left guessing what the relevance is, with the most likely interpretation being that the post is an assertion of the timeline one could expect of JBI (this is a JBI message board after all). Either there is no relevance, the reader has misunderstood the relevance, or the reader has simply been deceived. None of that is helpful.

JBI "competitive and adjacent space conversations," as you put it, are germane only to the extent that such information (not sure you can call it a conversation in the absence of commentary) bears on issues associated with JBI. It is that latter piece that is frequently missing.
