Re: "Why do you INSIST on bringing up the past? How does it help? Learn from it but don't constantly relive it. I do appreciate all the research that you do. I think that we are close to REAL rewards."

I think you make a good point. Until your last sentence, which I'd guess is the most often repeated idea over past years, "we are close to real rewards". Not much research to support that comment either. The only thing that really matters is revenue, bunches of revenue, documented in financial reports. The rest of this stuff is just noise.
