Howdy to everybody here from the illogical, crazy, "perpetual pumper" that many have described me to be over the last three to four years at Yahoo MNKD messageboard. To most of ya'll here I would like to say THANK YOU for keeping me informed and taking the time to explain scientific & clinical stuff in "layman's" terminolgy that even I can understand. To a handful of sincere hearted others, your genuine concern for my.... "extreme conviction" ( shall we call it,lol ?) regarding the future success of Afrezza & MNKD stock is truly heartwarming. It is indeed a pleasure to know that there is still compassion, concern and HUMANITY in the hearts of some people for the circumstances of a total stranger.

Having said the aforementioned, I would like to enlist the co-operation of a select few (who shall not be named outright) - they know in their hearts who they are - to reflect on their participation here among us. I fully appreciate the value of exchanged ideas and the discussion of controversial opinions. I know that insight can sometimes be gained from a person offering a different perspective on a situation or publication, etc. My request is pretty simple : Offer your "insight", "opinion" or "perspective" and then allow it to stand or fall on it's own merit or lack thereof. Please stop feeling the necessity to continually keep defending YOUR OPINION on a given matter in answer to the post of anyone else who might happen to disagree with you.

In MY OPINION, we have a couple of folks here who are masters at the art of engaging in "soft bashing" of MNKD as a Company, Al Mann as a C.E.O., and Afrezza as an NDA candidate. These folks never allow ANY opportunity to pass that allows them to insert their negativity. They skillfully present us with self serving "viewpoints" by "playing devils advocate" or offering the "flip side of the coin" perspective, etc. etc. The net result or "bottom line" of this "soft bashing" is the CONSTANT creation of artificial controversy to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of those shorter duration MNKD stockholders.

I understand that people taking "short" positions (or having NO position ) have just as much right to express themselves as those of us LONG this stock. Im sure this post will not impress upon them the futility of their actions, because to the newer shareholders they pass among us as "seasoned longs" with honorable intentions. I have more respect for the idiot bashers on the Yahoo board who at the very least "OWN" their positions (honestly identify themselves ) as BASHERS over there ! I have now offered my opinion and will allow it to stand or fall on it's own merit, so do not feel the need (soft bashers ) to address it for explanation further.

In conclusion, Im sure that there are some who "skip" my posts altogether, lol, because I rarely provide any "new" revelations, links or informational posts. That's cool, I know those of us percieved to be "pumpers" can be annoying too ! Thanks to those openminded who do read anyway - hope I at least occassionally provide amusement. Currently negotiating a business opportunity to allow me to greatly increase my current MNKD stock holdings. Long past the point of "no return" - "fully committed" as Dr. Mann has stated himself to be. GO MNKD ! GO Dr. MANN !
