They seem to be in a better position when shareholders think there is "hope".  As long as shareholders feel there is something going on its to the company's advantage.   As long as there is hope and people wait for something to come of nothing, then no one complains to management, or worse, takes legal action.  Baires has been helping out Tyhee for years in this respect.  What other benefit is there for him to be posting here day after day after day when there is no value in the shares?  It would be nice to have someone working for my company without pay all this time.  I don't think anyone would ever do it without pay.
