Hello

I've been a lurker for years. I got in several days before the run-up to $24+, thought it was normal for a whiz-bang stock in a whiz-bang market and rode it all the way to our present position, accumulating when I thought this MUST be the bottom, not selling a share. I check in most every day to see if we're rich yet. Don't own enough to buy a vineyard if it hits but hope to be a lot more comfortable that I am now (and able to tell the wife I WAS right.)

Knowing not much about the technology and fairly illiterate about reading financials, I rely on this forum to keep me up to speed. Therefore I welcome the broadest spectrum of positive-negative posts, figuring the truth lies between the extremes. I owe a great deal to the hub-leader posters for their information and analysis. I even read with loathing Cassandra, assuming that would be the worst case that could possibly be presented and reading the slew of positive rebuttals that always ensued.

So I would be sorry to see LL banished. As the stock moves up his cautious posts carry less weight, but I feel his ballast is helpful.

Good luck to all, and as I signed a Christmas card here a few years back I remain,

Newport Tom
