Geez Archaeo, you and I can agree on something!
I don't understand the thinking that a lower and lower sp makes a more attractive buying opportunity. The assumption behind such thinking seems to be that someone, somehow, will arrive and throw money at CFU to save the day. I think that's an incredibly brave mindset.
It's annoying that CFU isn't kicking more goals but I just can't see a future if we don't stump-up the cash.
