MMM I totally agree. We thought it was tough keeping up before? With two threads, we might as well camp out in front of our computers.
Bob, can we somehow combine the two threads, or lock one of them? I don't even care which one.
Ok, so we have MJM, MM, and MMM... We need some MMMMs and MJJMs and the like

Some of you seem confused about QBID right now. And I feel your pain. So I have spent most of the night sorting facts from speculations to provide a clarified view of Q's future. Hopefully this will enable you to make an informed decision about Q in the coming days/weeks:
FACTS: 1. Q's current PPS sucks. 2. CEO Frank does not communicate much. 3. CEO Frank misses many deadlines. 4. Some Q posters tell the truth all the time (but no one knows who they are). 5. Some Q posters tell the truth some of the time (but no one knows who they are). 6. Some Q posters lie some of the time (but no one knows who they are). 7. Some Q posters lie all the time (but no one knows who they are). 8. Some Q posters don't know the difference. 9. No one knows what is true about Q right now.
SPECULATIONS: 1. Everything not listed under FACT.
SUMMARY: If you digest the two lists, you should be able to make a simple yet informed decision regarding your Q investment. However, if you are still confused, I offer this additional information, for what it's worth:
There are essentially three Q investor groups right now, so determine which group you are in, then digest the added information for that group:
1. Current shareholders: You have two choices ... SELL your shares or HOLD your shares. Do what you think is right for you. 2. Former shareholders: You have two choices ... BUY shares or DO NOT BUY shares. Do what you think is right for you. 3. Potential shareholders: You have two choices ... BUY shares or DO NOT BUY shares. Do what you think is right for you (you might want to consult with a current or former shareholder first, but be sure to validate anything they tell you).
DISCLAIMER: I hope this information helps everyone make an informed decision about Q. Like many others who post on the Q thread, I'm just trying to protect others from making the wrong decision ... whatever that is.

SAN FRANCISCO Financial straits for gay TV network Q stops filming new shows, lays off some employees - Wyatt Buchanan, Chronicle Staff Writer Saturday, February 11, 2006
The Q Television Network, one of the three cable channels for gays and lesbians and the one that owns the broadcast rights for the Gay Games this summer, is struggling financially and has stopped running new programs -- until at least Monday.
The Southern California network -- which is available to 3 million cable subscribers in several cities, including San Francisco -- has not paid some of its workers, has laid off others and is being sued by a San Francisco lesbian magazine for not paying its advertising bills over a six-month period.
The Q Television Network launched in markets across the country in 2004, and was followed by MTV-backed Logo last summer. The first gay network, here, began broadcasting in 2002.
The chief administrators and board of directors of Q Television Network informed the staff Monday in an e-mail obtained by The Chronicle that an investor and his family with a large amount of money in the network "are no longer in a position to continue their financial commitment to Q Television."
"We know you are concerned about payroll," the e-mail began. It later stated that Q Television Network was "working with (backup investors) today to push this through as quickly as possible so that payroll can be completed." The e-mail was signed by the head of the company, Frank Olsen, along with Rene Schenk and Marion Sherman -- top officers -- and the "board of directors of QTN."
The network confirmed to the Web site Out.com that all contract workers had been laid off.
The network also has stopped filming new shows and instead is broadcasting recorded programs. Company officials declined to speak about the network's situation, but a company spokesman said the network expects to resume programming on Monday.
In early January, Girlfriends Magazine in San Francisco filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court claiming breach of contract. The network ran a series of full-page advertisements over six months in the monthly magazine but has yet to pay for any of them, said Jennifer Hagan, the magazine's attorney.
Editor Heather Findlay said the ads cost in the tens of thousands of dollars, although she would not say exactly how much.
The network is a major sponsor of the Gay Games and bought the broadcasting rights to air them for $1.7 million. So far, it has paid about 75 percent of that, said Kevin Boyer, co-vice chairman of the games that will be held in Chicago in July.
"They have told us that (the suspension of new programming) is a normal, planned production hiatus to plan for the Gay Games," Boyer said. The network has planned to broadcast several hours of the games each day, some of it live, he said. That has never been done before.
"They have been a good partner with us, and we will believe them till we have reason to believe otherwise," he said.
Meanwhile, stock in Q Television is trading at one-100th of a cent.

Now that there is some numbers to actually chew on, decisions can be made including my own.
