For the record I have been told that many investors particularly in the US have stated that if it were not for this  forum and the level of due diligence that is offered here that they would  have sold their shares and be long gone.

This forum is for the benefit of all shareholders. It is easy to recognize that the vast majority are here to share rational views based on honest and genuine thought processes.  Providing intelligent arguments instead of throwing out talking points that are selfish in nature to benefit their own personal position. And in doing so they show respect for people here where differing views can be received without suspicion.
