Actually Rosencrantz,

I think my posts have been fairly balanced.

And yes, I am a long term holder.

It seems there is a natural bias on all threads on HC towards unbridalled enthusiasm. This is what to be expected because posters self-select themselves to only post on those companies that they are bullish about. And they want others to buy the share at higher prices. So all posts have a good dollop of self-interest in them. A bit like broker reports. "we already own the stock... you should too..." Lots of buoyant comments, lots of blue sky, no risks.

But the downside to this is any hint of caution, or criticism of management, tend to be shouted down. Most holders want to hear about the blue sky and do not want anyone to deter other buyers.

Now is the time for caution and critical thinking and watching events with a great deal of attention. Both at a company level and a global market level. The market movements in HGO recently have reflected that, in price and volume. Many companies have stumbled at the commissioning hurdle. We should be justifiably cautious.
