this one's a keeper, page-10

superk28,

Like I said before you are not on ignore. This is not because I don't find you extremely irritating, it's because I don't have anyone on ignore on HotCopper.

By the way, for reference it was post number #4186278
and this is what I said:

"Will my postulations be correct however about the following:

1. Expecting further Sub Notices.... from Maple Brown Abbott at least

2. 50c share price in the very near term, and upwards of 90 cents within a couple of months."

Again not sure why I am indulging your comments and I hate using others as an example. However, I would prefer to think better of people and would honestly hate to have "followers" as you put it. That sound too "buffett-like" to me. You should check out what happens to "follows" by reading what's been happening on the CER thread.

I prefer to think of it in terms of value. Some post(ers) have more value than others. It's that simple. I get a great deal of supplemental value from HotCopper and I am not afraid to admit it. Posters like 'defabster', 'TweetyPie', 'swap' (wonder where you are?), 'Ipod', 'nursery' and 'andrewsportfolio' put a lot of time, skill, energy and/or humour into their posts and their good-naturedness comes through. You can even see this on an anonymous forum. Other posters are quite plainly villains and this comes through quite transparently just the same.

If the odd poster finds my take on things insightful, well then that's fine. Many times I have taken pains to stress that I don't give advice (not allowed) and that my posting is either conveying information, factual in nature or of a general nature or generally hypothetical. Anything else treads dangerous turf in my view.

I must honestly pay kudos to your commentary about BJT Management however. You may be correct.

Havings the Management of a public company with an agenda and looking after themselves first and foremost and all but doing over the ordinary shareholder is common, ordinary and from what I can see occurs reasonably frequent. In this regard BJT would be no different. I suppose here again, we could reference that post some time back where maxinemillion linked yet another post that explained what happened with BJT.

I am acutely aware of this type of thing and that is why despite good or bad performance I will never own shares in Macquarie Bank.

Also having a degree in a Business/Finance discipline and having done copious amounts of further study, I can fully see when someone is having a lend and am quit capable of critical thinking.

As referenced above, posting the correspondence from Investor Services was general information in nature used to provide further clarity where possible about issues we were already discussing. I wasn't swallowing someone elses bull, I know what to keep and what to throw out. Sometimes however, despite management double-speak and "Corporatese", their responses can facilitate some reading between the lines so it does not hurt to communicate.

For what it's worth that correspondence cleared up very quickly the concern at the time of an "all-scrip" distribution. I urge you to go back over some old posts if you have not read them or may have forgotten.

To quote 'nursery'. "I am often wrong". One of us will defintely be eating humble pie. If it is me then so be it. However, if I am wrong, it will only be in relation to hte time frame.

Cheers friend.
