Dear Mr. Buckley,

Thank you for your email about LNUX. We apologize, however, we cannot provide details as to why the security is unable to be traded online at this time. This is a descision that comes from E*Trade's own back office and is not necessarily a direct reflection on the company's stock you are trading and details are not provided to customer service representatives.

We are more than happy to accommodate your order over the phone at no extra charge and you can get straight through to a broker any time during the market session at 1-888-388-2900.

I hope this information has been helpful. Please let us know if we've addressed your questions and concerns satisfactorily by taking a 30-second survey at the following web address:

Dear Sir/Madam:

1.) Please explain clearly why the trading desk is inhibiting the trading and liquidiy of LNUX by forcing Etrade cusotmers to place orders over the phone.

The answer in the last email is unequivocal nonsense given the fact that ETrade allows online trading for unreporting pink sheet companies.

Clarify.

2.) Also the below question still wasn't answered.
>From what date were trades for for LNUX online prohibited?<

Please answer it.

Best Regards,
Bill Buckley
