Whoever was involved in the small group of posters who discussed " inside/outside, privileged/non privileged rumours ' etc. etc.etc." had the right to discuss among themselves.

However, clear intent to mislead or influence the price of NOT's stock via this board, or any other, is truly unacceptable.

Old Longs have been proud of the quality and integrity of posts that have helped guide many through the years. Glorieux, Donypee, Hoov etc. are all on this list, with many others and some have left, unfortunately. Moments of disagreement and heated debate have contributed immensely to our knowledge, but don't take anyones' comments as gospel. Be discerning.

So, if there was/is an "inner circle" of privileged Savants...Please "get along", and post your wise thoughts for all of us to openly discuss. The sharks are out there, and they eat huge fish, so we better respect each other. Remember, unity was the major factor in our Proxy fight.

I still personally feel that NOT is the investment of a lifetime!! And FWR shareholders should participate in this eventual bonanza! The CEO's will be the ones to decide things, not us lowly little retailers. Hopefully, NOT/FWR will end up together (and maybe with others) knocking the socks off the RoF! There'll be enough for everyone!

Please Wes and Mac, make nice.
