Ann: Half Year Report and Accounts (including Appendix 4D), page-284

Spot on. I just explained it to my wife by using the example of some nut who keeps saying "The sky is green." It matters not how much you argue with them, they have their own reasons--or mania--for saying that it's green, not blue, and nothing you can say is going to change their mind or stop them saying it.

In that example, and at some point, you would realise that it's not worth your time saying "No, the sky is blue!" any longer and you would just ignore the idiot. You are literally wasting your breath.

Not on this board, though. Over and over again, people keep responding to these charlatans. This board has just become an endless back-and-forth refrain of "MSB is bankrupt and dying and SI is incompetent!" versus "No it's/he's not."

Ugh.

I will just wait for Tuesday to hear the good or bad news and see what happens to the SP. Interesting posts on actual analysis of the company are always welcome. The rest of it, trying so hard to prove all these idiots wrong, is just so much bullsh*t.
