Al Mann tidbits I could have lived without

[Deleted]

As an alumnus of UCLA, he tried to make a substantial monetary gift to his alma mater to fund a bioengineering institute. However, the donation failed over Mr. Mann's desire to retain control over patents and patent revenues generated by the institute. The $162 million gift eventually went to USC, a private institution that agreed to his terms.[5]
On March 16, 2007 Purdue University received a $100 million endowment from the Mann Foundation for Biomedical Engineering. The endowment is the largest research gift ever at the university and created the Alfred Mann Institute at Purdue. However, AMI Purdue was closed and the $100 million endowment from the MANN Foundation was rescinded in early 2012. Reasons for the withdrawal of the endowment at the end of the 5-year trial period centered on a lack of appropriate management of technology resources by members of Purdue AMI and Purdue Research Foundation and a lack of production of quality projects.[6]
Personal life[edit]

Mann has been married four times and has seven children. He divorced his first wife Beverly, with whom he had three sons, in 1957. Mann had three more children with his second wife, whom he divorced in 1973. He divorced his third wife, Susan, in 1997.[7]

Lemonade, may your new membership here be brief; may your agenda be taken elsewhere.

I really do not understand why my citing other sources or asking questions should be equated with having an agenda, unless you want potential investors pursuing due diligence to feel unwelcome, and only want to share this board with already-convinced longs.

A vast majority of people are welcomed on this board irregardless of their position as long as they follow the rules posted. However, there is a level of standard that should be maintained if you're a contributor despite this not being explicitly stated, Lemonade. New threads should be relatively new and up-to-date if no question or commentary is provided in conjunction with the set post.

The content you've been contributing has been very dated and selectively skewed. I see your efforts so I'm just trying to give you some tips on future posts and my opinion.

But please, reevaluate what you've stated, when you said, "I really do not understand why my citing other sources or asking questions should be equated with having an agenda..."

When posting on an investment site, any link, article and opinion one shares supports an agenda indirect and more often - direct (good or bad).

thank you for your civility, chris- i can assure you my only agenda, as newly introduced to this stock, is one of due diligence.

You are no one I'd hang out with.  It's your constant negativity which is a bummer dude.
Don't like the past?  Judgement of what someone does with their donation?  Or just here to cause suspicion in your presumable put plays…
Doesn't really matter.   What's a grain of sand in this Cosmos.  If you don't like the stock, the mann or are worried for what ever reason;
my suggestion to you is to buy as much smith corona as you can.

As the OP has chosen to delete their account here, I'm going ahead and locking this thread.
