"You sure have a chip on your shoulder when you don't hear what you want from the forum participants."

It has nothing to do with what I want to hear or not. Thats the great thing aboiut this board. It tends to have some good balance and views. What I take issue with is hearing the same message in differing flavours over and over and over. As I said in an earlier post, you have made your point/s.

"Lighten up whaler, or you're going to have this forum to yourself, with the odd lemming as a follower, and a few others that are afraid to say anything of note, in case it offends you."

I don't think I need any "lemmings" as you refer to the other forum participants.

WRT your thoughts and views of the ISM future all I can say is "to each to their own". I am a shareholder and I still am this moment. For me I guess I am different, when I sell a stock, I move on. I don't see the point hanging around and sermonizing to the crowd if I were not a shareholder. Why? Sure a parting speech to a bunch of old comrades and board participants. But to hang around and answer each and every post? I just find it odd you feel the need to lend guidance and offer up so much of your time and effort in these writings if you have basically parted with your shares in the company.

Funny we saw a lot of those same offerings and guidance/service to ISM shareholders at the other board. I don't see the point, unless it's a goodwill gesture, a constructive input or it's simply a genuine and sincere offering. Being helpful to those who have a still have a stake in the company. Then it is very much appreciated.

IMHO
