Kiwi,

I'm not known for the frequency of my posts on HC. This is mainly due to the fact I choose to either read/follow/enjoy or disagree with the comments posted on the stock I have invested in on the ASX (I also invest in stock on the DAX) however, after reading some of your personal attacks on those shareholders in the "60-70" year old that need to "listen to the Alpha male" I feel compelled to add my two cents worth.

I am by far not in the category that you feel is lagging behind and stuck in their "old ways". I am an investor that only plays with what he can afford to lose. Whilst I sometimes share your frustrations that the company hasn't moved as quickly as I would have liked, I have also invested some $80k (at a slightly higher price than where the company is currently sitting) with the view that ICG is a long term investment. If i'm looking to make a quick profit I'd day trade and obsess with SP movements but I don't have the time nor patience for that. I look at HC on a fairly regular basis and do get some sort of light relief whilst following the banter of some of the longer term holders (I have held ICG for 6 years). If I find a comment inane then I'll quickly move onto the next comment in the thread.

There is enough anger, frustration and impatience in the world today without having a holder pursuing personal attacks against other holders. Of course this is your right to do so if you wish but by "playing the man rather than the ball" I believe you're not only showing your impatience/frustration on an open comment forum but alienating anyone from taking your comments seriously.

I hope that you get your 2.5c and wish you all the best with your future investments.

Regards
