"Meanwhile other shipping cinpanies March forward"

Just not true. We may not have done much, but certainly no one else has either. It's been a decade or more for us trying but also listening to people talk about the progress of others - no one has rolled out a future fuel to their fleet yet and their "imminent" isn't worth any more than our "imminent"

"Any one of these projects could take us to 10p in a flash"

At the very least. People talk about P/E ratios but remember: any share price we have now or in the past has been calculated by the market without any earnings at all. If we landed a small project that only covered our ongoing costs, that would completely derisk the company allowing it to pursue all it's various opportunities without worry. That alone is worth a vast amount to the market.

At this point we've tested everything known to man in three different ways

And you thought you'd solve that problem with some interesting and insightful reportage.

"the cheek to complain at the lack of vigour from questioners"

No, I've found the questioners quite good in the past, although some have clearly had a negative agenda as well as one crazy woman who kept on about the website for some reason. Unfortunately I don't live in the UK so can't get to the AGMs when I'd like although will certainly try this year.

I don't care about AGMs anymore. Nothing I've heard at an AGM has come to pass so I'm just discounting whatever is said. Questions are screened in advance so there's no way to hold anyone to account.

"He suddenly brought back in recently "

Did he indeed

(con man)

"If she had any idea how much i have tied up in QED and the paper loss I'm currently holding things could get a touch uncomfortable."

Same. Ouch.

"it’s clearly something you felt was worthwhile"

But I've never said otherwise! If I didn't care about being banned I never would've joined in the first place, I'd hoped that was obvious. There's a wealth of valuable information on the forum. There are also, in my opinion, some problems with it.

"genuinely hard to p****."

That was me. It censored... p.a.r.s.e

Unbelievable.

"Taking life a little too literal SR"

Uh...yeah, I understand it wasn't an actual sweepstake. But the conversation says everything.

"Sour grapes."

Second time you've said that in as many posts. It really does feel like you revel in it. And it keeps feeling like that.

I'm not bothered about being banned, I joined a couple more times to see what was going on and I'm a member now. But banning 4 active members is actually a huge number based on the total number of people who post very regularly. Anyway, just sour grapes.

"nobody has ever been banned for saying they’ve sold shares"

i think i was. but maybe not, i can't remember exactly.

"moderated with a very light touch"

"the forum mods decided to have a sweepstake"

genuinely hard to p****.

"You seem to want the freedom to be a pr*ck anywhere regardless of impact on others"

I do want that freedom! But I also don't want to have a negative impact on others. Are you able to articulate the negative impact I've had on others? Was it saying I sold shares, saying I was a bird, or a third option?

"The Nation is its Citizens, end of. Party input is minimal to non-existent, in fact I doubt there’s been any need for it since you lot were cleansed.

Some comrades just can’t help being what they are and find even basic rules of Communism a challenge to cope with."

Fixed that for you, in case you can't see how unhinged that all reads.

I don't think anyone is saying yours or anyone's research wasn't conducted in good faith, nor that it was the best research it could possibly be. Only that much of it has proven fruitless. We are where we are. Still. I have hope for the future, I had it five years ago too. I don't think there a reliable way to paint anyone's comments as particularly positive or negative because none of us have any actual information. I doubt Quadrise has much more than we do.

"The forum banned 4 posters in the years of its existence post Brian. "

OK, but isn't the forum essentially *you* (& co)? That makes this a circular sort of argument doesn't it? Maybe that's the pattern? I believe I was ostensibly banned for saying I sold a very small quantity of shares. But I'm not sure that was the reason, it was never explained to me. The forum has always seemed a bit off to me because it's hidden, I don't see why that should be.

"Oh look Burble, creator of the Burble numbers file, a spreadsheet of ludicrous pie in the sky valuations of what QED would be worth."

*Could* be worth. And I don't think it was done maliciously Vince.

"circle jerk"

Hard to disagree with, some of the time. As evidenced by: "the forum mods decided to have a sweepstake"

Hardly the most mature pass time for a group of people who are so self regarding they spend time judging others for their posts.

"signal to noise ratio"

Rather depends on the definition though. Noise here is bickering and weird talk of sock puppets by seemingly everyone. Noise there is pseudo intellectual analysis that has, in retrospect, had as much grounding in reality as illuminate's unhinged finger pointing.

"I've been negative all these years"

But Vince, why didn't you sell? You can't logically hold shares in a company while believing they'll go bankrupt

"Too many irons in the fire again"

Huh? So the opposite of what everyone here was complaining about previously

"What always amazes me, is how investors are not more angry and scathing with what JM tots out in these interviews and what actually happens in reality"

I'm angry, I just don't think it's completely his fault. Obviously it's *someone's* fault and I'm incredibly distressed about the lack of progress in this company. I'm not even talking about the distant past where it can be argued this was largely a different company with different products. Just the last two or three years have been devastating to me. But I don't believe the leadership of the company is to blame, I believe they want the same as I do. Obviously I don't have a view behind the scenes, I don't know what's going on.
