RE: Questions!!!!Long time lurker, first time poster...
Fireandrain and Tibutch, I find your posts attacking AFIRS rather ridiculous. I am a shareholder and monitor this board consistently for a few reasons. I like to supplement my own research with new points I am unable to find, I like to see a 'read' on what people feel about the company, and to read points of view that challenge my thinking. I may not agree with the analysis of AFIRS 100% of the time, but he has brought forward points that I was unaware of, and has helped to inform me. Of course, like any internet forum I will absolutely make my own decisions and conduct my own due dilligence. I fail to understand why posters like you franticly attempt to tear down the people that raise questions or make points that might be negative to your viewpoint. AFRIS (and others) obviously is skilled at research and brings his own viewpoint to this public forum, it is up to you to debate his points with your own facts if you disagree with them. His opinions should remain his to hold and have, and in a public forum I think we want those people to help us make better choices. Why would I come here if I had a bunch of people willing to drink the coolaid with me, not willing to challenge the norm? Anyways, several times I have considered removing this forum from those I look at because it is a waste of time. People just using personal attacks against eachother instead of a healthy debate on the business model we are here to discuss. At the rate the two of you are going, we should have a nice clean board with only the true 'believers' in no time... while those with better research and a point of view that challenges our own are keeping it to themselves. In this case we would all lose.
