I read every one of these messages, and I still know absolutely nothing. Either I am much dumber than I thought, or I am among a bunch of similar people in the same straights who are also scratching their heads and wondering how and when it will come to an end. That end may be a buyout, a permit, arbitration, or just plain saying to hell with it and going away.
Right now I am leaning towards a vacation away from this. If anything happens in my absence I will see it in my portfolio.
Have fun, and play nice.
