G'day OOpeek,

You say:

"More advanced TB testing technology which makes in-surgery diagnostic possible may one day, once approved, render the CST current lab based technology obsolete."

I'm not quite sure what you are alluding to here. As far as I am aware, there is no, absolutely no, development along these lines on the horizon. From time to time we do hear of proposed "instant diagnostics" for ACTIVE TB. To date, none of these have amounted to anything (not saying that they won't). However, the important point is that none of these diagnostics are tests for LATENT TB (which QFT is).

Of course it is always possible that something could appear from left field. But then, you could say that about anything. All we can do is to keep a close watch on developments so that we can be assured that we will have an early notice of such thing happening. Bear in mind that it took CST close to 10 years to negotiate the regulatory hurdles to get to this point - we would have to assume that any new diagnostic would face a similar timeline.

However, in the end, we each make our own decisions. It's absolutely no skin off my nose that some people decide that CST is not a sensible investment for them. At least it shows that they are making active, thoughtful investment decisions.

Now to your accusations.

"It appears that the 'here, there and everywhere' Cheer Squad leader, who is glued to the seat with eyes fixed on the screen 24/7, guard Cellestis like a pit-bull terrier.
Being on a mission to have anything with a negative slant removed - quickly. "

Yes, CST does have a number of very interested investors. I am one of them and can only speak for myself. I am quite happy for people to express views about CST different than mine (I would certainly never ask to have such posts removed - and I doubt that moderators would remove such posts anyway). I enjoy discussing the facts regarding CST with anyone. The only thing that disturbs me is when the discussions turn personal. Just because I express my views, opinions and knowledge forcefully doesn't mean that I don't have respect for somebody that is able to cogently argue a differing position. After all, if we all agreed on everything then these forums would be minimal use to anyone.
