Reasonable points here by you and others, and while I'm sure what I said is not what people would want to hear about the effectiveness of Twitter noise, it's what I believe.
I'm not saying it had no impact/effect on the final outcome, but I do think the greatest contributing factors happened behind the scenes.
Since everyone here is making a judgment based on information without hard objective evidence we all have to use our best judgment as individuals. That's DPOS doing DPOS.
It's fairly obvious to me that he Twitter campaign was crucial but that it took people to negotiate with them and persuade them to list us without the usual fees and despite whatever bullshit stood in the way.
maybe he was lying, or maybe he was part of the team, i don't know, don't have the inside information.
