Settling in.

Well, I'm still settling in to this new environment. You might have even noticed me moving the furniture around and painting the walls. Once I have finished with that I will get down to the real business of this blog - I promise! However, right now I want to address an issue or two and do some housekeeping.
Firstly, I want to say to all those that have offered their very generous best wishes for the future of my blog that I appreciate your interest. I really hope that I can live up to your expectations and provide something that you will find worthwhile reading.


Secondly, I want to address some issues that arise from my initial entry. In my more than ten years of posting on forums, I have made many friends. Those friends have been, and continue to be, very important to me - they really are a part of my life. I hold in particularly high regard that special group of friends that have become a tight group of people with the common interest of their investment in Cellestis. I am proud to be part of that group. We should commend ourselves on the way that we have worked together as the most well informed group of investors in a specific company that I have ever come across. Each have brought to this group their own talents, knowledge and experience to the task of analysing every single facet of this investment. My decision to move my posting from the forum where we all gather to this venue should in no way be seen as me resigning from that group. My fervent hope is that I can still call myself a part of that group and that my entries on this blog will still be seen as contributions to the group. Hopefully, this new venue may even allow for my contributions to increase in value.


I am aware that because I was in the small group of people who started posting about Cellestis in the very early days of its listing, I have sometimes been seen as one of the leaders of the group. If it is even partly true that I have earned that accolade then I am both honoured and humbled. However, I do not want anybody to misinterpret that my totally personal decision to relocate from the forum to this venue is in any way a suggestion that the forum posting group should change in any way. It is simply that the forum is no longer where I wish to "live" - that is a factor of the forum operation as it impacts me, not of you, the contributors.


For those who are not familiar with my style of writing, I apologize for what must seem the over sentimentality of the above. Those who are familiar with my posting will know that it is just a manifestation of the fact that I write from the heart.


Now some housekeeping.


Whilst I have a head full of ideas (and a full tank of fuel in my lawnmower) I do not really know where this blog will end up. However, I am pretty sure that rather than several posts per day, it is far more likely that I will be writing one or two posts every few days. I do realize that can make it tiresome for you to recheck the blog continuously, only to find that nothing new has happened. Once I work it out, I will provide a facility for you to "subscribe" to this blog to receive notifications of new entries by email. I can only hope that you will find it worthwhile to do so.


Just in case you haven't noticed, at the end of each post is a link enabling you to leave comments. I have noticed that some of you have availed yourselves of that facility already. I wholeheartedly welcome comments - if nothing else they let me know that somebody out there is listening.

  3. Hi forrest

    I've always found your posts to be very helpful and well reasoned. I look forward to reading your Blog.

    I, and others, have written to Sharescene admin requesting a review of the situation. It may not change anything but it needed to be done.

    Diagnostic tests
    Testing for tuberculosis
    Anastasios Konstantinos, Director of Queensland TB Control Centre (Specialised Health Services),
    Queensland Health, Brisbane


    Screening for latent tuberculosis infection
    The Australian National Tuberculosis Advisory Committee
    recommends tuberculin skin testing as the standard test for
    latent tuberculosis infection with targeted use of interferon
    gamma release assays (Quantiferon Gold) when high
    specificity is desired.
    These tests have no role in initial investigations for active
    tuberculosis because negative results do not exclude disease
    and positive results may not necessarily indicate disease.
