Gil...You surprise me; if it were your company would you not ask meaningful questions and expect factual answers from your management?
Perhaps you should direct the post to the supreme daboss.
He is the one that usually starts with the sardonic remarks when the content of a post is to his dislike.
I proved that yesterday when I directed a post to sky56 with some added comments related to when we may see some communications from the company on critical issues.
He took offense, slandered me and the board took sides, as you put it, sniping at each other for several posts.
Why not let any post stand, no one has to reply, even if it is a hype or a negative message.
Go back and read my post directed to you and his reply and then tell me who initiates most of the mockery.
