"Go back and reread some of the basher posts from the last year or so. Almost all of them deal with matters that could have been prevented by more, and more open, communication."

There were 2 so-called bashers that were banned...Richie Rich and Whamyjamie, their post have been removed from the archieves. Both of their arguements, that management was messing up and wasn't transparent, all this turned out to be true.

I know Richie Rich personally, I met and told him about SFMI at a poker game and after doing his DD he bought a large amount of SFMI shares a while later, he has more than shares than I do..I manage 600 k shares of SFMI. Richie Rich is no shill, he's a hard nose investor that will speak out if he see's a problem with an investment. He got in sinbob's and others face with his views and because of his lack of deploymacy and aggressive nature he was kicked out of this forum...pissed off the gate keepers...yet the guy was right.

He's still pissed, especially after reading post from individuals that had him banned, later agreeing with his negative arguement about management.. but he would still like to come back aboard because he feels he has something to offer to forum. He understands that he must be more respectful of others opinions, yet he'd like credit given to him if his views are correct.

After meeting Richie Rich at a poker game for the first time ever, I struck up a friendship with the guy and we both follow SFMI closely now...I like to hear his views, right or wrong, RR has years of experience in the market, I have little, I'm still learning. Anyway, I promise RR that I'd speak out in his defense because he can't, he's banned. So hopefully, the administrators of this forum will reconsider and let Richie Rich back on board.
