clearthinker The survey was of OPINIONS.  Not hearing.  It has no value ... This is a hobbyist's group that is full of opinions. If opinions have no value to you, what are you doing here?

I don't see any basis for a suit against MQA. It looks like the company is going through what in the US would be Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which is really not that big of a deal. As long as MQA has a revenue stream, it's likely some entity will buy i...
