Dear chillam,

Your post perfectly exemplifies the problem with the wait. Some appear to be the children in the back persistently asking 'are we there, when will we get there' etc. I prefer to look at this waiting period as if we are travelling overseas to Europe. You know the pain that is the long haul flight but the destination will be great when we get there- hopefully!

There is a marked distinction in the two attitudes. That is the clearest distinction I have noted. Like in your analogy, the whinging and whining is starting to grate. We are in it together and the whining doesn't assist anyone.

One impression that is created with the whining is that those members are major shareholders. If only we knew how many shares each member held. That is not say their opinions are less valid, but it does mean if there are others with larger holdings not whining then perhaps they can cease much of it. I am reminded of Pareto's Rule- 20% of the holders do 80% of the whining.
