Most folks just would not comment.. and move on.. the fact that these folks who are a slice of the investing public have come on BP and made these observations.. then we are just skimming the surface.. in my humble opinion it simply is not scalable and these folks will be like most others in the space.. long gone and their investors left to hold the bag..

Otherwise, you can be left holding the bag.  I
