jimmijazz - the use of "us" means that optionsgal was including herself. She felt strongly enough to tell me to leave her (and others) alone. I think on these forums asking why is just about the most useful and harmless question in response to any post. Yes I asked her specifically. Would you expect me to ask her why she and others want me to leave them alone - how could I expect her to speak for others? Anyway, I asked once and that's it - matter done as far as I am concerned - everyone is free to choose to post or not post.

It isn't true that the choice is either to opt-in or stick my head in the sand.

We might also differ in that I have no ill feeling towards people who opt-in nor to people who encourage others to opt-in but as fellow shareholders who have lost a lot of money on this I think we have a lot more substantive areas in common.
