In terms of a cross section of America (and other countries,) this board has it all. We, as a group, cover techies and non-technies, city people, suburb-slickers, and folks from the country. And our bretheren from the UK (mostly) add a spice to the mix. We are what Bill Gates and Darl fear most: a well educated, inquisitive, well-read, and highly moral group.
Now, let's compare that description with the typical SCOX or MSFT long, shall we? Well educated? Perhaps, although it's hard to tell. Inquisitive? Hardly, as they don't even read the basic information about this company. Well read? Hmmmm ... not likely.
And the final qualification: highly moral. My personal definition of moral requires a person to respect others. In addition, I usually don't find extremely greedy and self-centered people to be highly moral either. And liars? They automatically are not moral at all. When looking for the truth, moral people find it and accept it, whether it agrees with their ideals or not. Non-moralistic people scream shrilly about how everyone else is wrong.
I think this pretty much defines why this group of posters has stayed together and focused throughout this whole, long charade. And, certainly, this stock scam is a charade. It will end badly for those like Ledite and just_bs. It will end badly for those who lie and co-opt other's work. Ledite? Get over it .... your moral barometer is broken and your ideals are shattered.
We all speak the truth here. I, for one, sleep well at night knowing I've contributed (via GPL software) to the greater good. Others contribute similarly in their own ways.
Congratulations to all who stay here, tolerate the abuse and trolls, and still return to keep the truth alive.
