Just got caught up on this board, and all I can say is ``SHEESH!`` (in defiance of the I-Hub crowd - who are apparently like the ``Knights of Nee`` and can`t deal with that word). Please don`t bring their shrubberies over here!

Bottom line IMO, is that this is a board for EDIG investors. As such, it inherently should depict an overall positive attitude. Posters should be able to describe their concerns and frustrations, ask reasonable questions, etc., but with an underlying attitude that we are in this together (where`s the Team Spirit?) and that we all hope for the best.

Having said that, I understand the concerns of some based on what they might choose to read on other boards. But there, the bottom line is that many posters have a more-than-obvious negative agenda in play. They are NOT investors, and many freely state such. How obvious is that? The only question ``over there`` is why oh why do they continue to spew with such vigor?

As for what they spew, it really doesn`t matter to me. I see it for what it is.... On the other hand, (here) I can see the positive side based on at least semi-reliable info primarily in the form of links to articles and such. I don`t feel compelled to diligently search out the info myself, as it is often served up on a platter. That`s one of the big values of this board. Another is positive speculation, such as that found in the message to which this replies. I note that I only got a couple of replies to that message, but zero real discussion - and it`s something that MATTERS.

IF the speculation that matters, whether it be a break-even qtr. or orders for more digEs, comes about, none of the aforementioned ``spewing`` will matter at all! All ``issues`` spewed will simply go away, whether it be the spectre of naked short selling or death spiral financing that some seem to be preoccupied with.

Regarding the positive speculation, we can agree to disagree, and that`s okay (e.g., what will make our PPS rise, how much, when, etc.).

Likewise, I see nothing wrong with INVESTORS expressing frustration. After all, this is frustrating! We`re hearing great things from third parties with no vested interest, yet nothing from the company WE OWN. Hopefully it is for good reason....

Anyway, after reading 100-200 posts that did nothing for me positive or negative regarding my investment (with the exception of Moxa`s info on Panasonic), I came away with wondering why the heck I bother.

With this in mind, along with the thought that MANY others must be feeling the same, can we maybe, just maybe, give a little thought before we post? Maybe adopt a mindset that it`s NOT ``us and them`` on this board, but just ``US``? Maybe grow a little thicker skin? Maybe accept opinions of others for what they are: just opinions voiced by other people?

Now, getting back on track, anybody else have any thoughts as to whether last qtr may have been profitable?

BTW, I don`t mean to be ``preaching`` here (though it is Sunday...LOL). I`d just like to see this board get back to being more of an investment monitoring tool than a free-for-all battleground.

All these things I KNOW (for a change! LOL). Of course it`s pretty easy to know one`s own opinion!
