However, I am certainly not stupid and I visit HotCopper to try to avoid being misinformed.

As do I. And, I'm sure, most other people on here.

Why do you want to make this about me and not about ISX?

I don't, but you seem to. As I said earlier, unless you have access to info that the rest of us don't have access to, then you know no more about what's going on than the rest of us... and conjecture about the imminent demise of ISX is just as useless as your so-called 'conspiracy theories'. The reality is: NONE OF US KNOWS. ISX doesn't make up much of my share portfolio, so whatever happens, is neither here nor there in the scheme of things for me. But for the people who may have larger amounts at stake and may be more worried, the relentless prodding by certain people on this thread (Anie - you reading??) is disturbing and totally unhelpful, as the shares can't be traded anyway! And given that, it seems rather more like Schadenfreude than 'civic duty'...

Anyway- I'm done. Really not interested in getting into circular arguments with you or anyone else. Good luck to you, OB.
