For those who forgot about NEM until we got in the top ten on CMC:

Rules were set , deadlines were determined.
Then deadlines were extended ( more than once).
Actions ( or in this case a lack there-off ) have consequences in life so just face these consequences and move on. The smart ones will learn from it, but those are probably not the ones that are wining about it. Take an example from extee and deal with it like a man 


One more thing: I was an original stakeholder, I knew it was possible to claim a stake for my wife or whatever but never did. I can probably come up with a dozen reasons why I didn't but who cares.
Regrets came after a while but since that's has never  helped anyone I decided to invest some more money. So that's what I did. In the mean time the money I invested has gained in value substantially and will do more so over time (at least that's what I expect)...
So my advice to those that missed out: Take whatever you can spare and invest it in XEM, the show is just getting started
