If some of those hey-Sayers, as you call them, had been allowed to speak their minds, some may not have jumped in with both feet. Those same people you refer to as "reliable longs" we're reliable especially when it came to their, not yours, interests. Old you have been around long enough to know that if you limit what is allowed to be said you no longer have an open and free exchange of ideas bit instead you have an agenda. This is what happens. Do you really want LT, and especially on, to come here and spin their stories again. It would seem they are the ones who got you into this mess!
Honestly, the chances of this getting off the greys is remote - of course that is always a possibility but the past has shown since 2010, of the over 3000 companies going to the greys, only 3 have made it off and back to the pinks. With no money even for a phone line and the company not fighting revocation, it seems pretty clear what the outcome is going to be. Lampl even alluded to maybe not even being publicly traded if they do try to proceed. Too bad so many have lost but as it has been said, you made your decision with only one eye to walk into traffic.
