Please post if any new contact information becomes available
?????
==============================================================
Or would everyone rather it stay like it is now?
I put in the ????? to replace how's this?
perhaps someone can give me the dates and any other complete but
now defunct email address so I can cut and paste them in...
Thanks for the reminder....
I'd forgotten about that....
Imo,
it should get a Skull & Crossbones based on the
RS's alone.
IBox updated
The shareholder list has been modified
& a couple of names have been moved
but hopefully it is now a little easier to read.
No names were removed or modified, only relocated.
editting generic text graphics in the IBox has limitations.
I hope it's an improvement overall.
I can certainly attest that Lil Jazz put in a little time
setting it up.
The 2 links which no longer worked were removed. They were dead links.
The generic SEC info which is available to anyone anywhere
was also removed so that overall the IBox is more presentable
to newbies. If the board as a whole would like immediate access
back to that information, please provide the link to it
(there wasn't one there) and I'll put the link in the IBox
with a one line description.
I hope it's an improvement overall.
If anyone has any links they think would add to the discussion,
please post them with a one line Description and how they relate
to ACMG so any newcomers will also find them useful.
Anyone else get these results? :
You tried to access the address http://www.995ad.com/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Considering Downs
has never answered or returned a single phone call
or email to me as a shareholder, I have extreme
doubts that these emails and phone calls we read
about are even real. I very much doubt they are.
IMO, the Skull & Crossbones are well earned as
IDWD has kept investors in the dark.
Perhaps we will now actually see something of consequence.
Or not.
IBox updated
Oh yes you were......
personally by me......
after the amazing pics you post on the MEN'S ROOM.....
I absolutely invited you hoping you might have some
interesting tales of the same quality.......
Buz and the others jumped in before I could even PM them....
ahhhh
I like this premium men's board stuff.....
Unlike the Stock boards where I am forced to delete the
occasional WTF! Here we can relax and enjoy them!
THAT'S WTF!!!!!!!
well that is unless the powers that be shout down
from the heavens...... ;)
Finally!
thanks for the update.
This is what they are called in my account:
IDS WORLDWIDE INC HLS WORLDWIDE INC RESTRICTED
My broker says they are IDWD restricted shares.
I'm done discussing this.
They're already IDWD restricted shares...
They're already converted.
all that would do is remove the restriction
so they could be sold in the 90 days following
the restriction being lifted.
It's not worth my time.
I'd rather see how IDWD plays out
and if it turns around...fine.
If not, I'll see what legal action can be taken with success.
I would if I had a link to go with it.
If you or anyone could provide one that will be around
for a while, I'll get it in the IBox.
I'll be doing some IBox updating soon.
i.e. skull & cossbones at pinksheets.
So anyone can PM me with any suggestions as long as there's
links to go with them.
Those with free accounts who can't PM could post for example:
Here's some new info about IDWD,
here's the link: www.blah blah blah....
and it might belong in the IBox.
That keeps the post On Topic and gets the message across.
Well
it didn't get the Skull and crossbones
And then there was the Healthcare clinic....
Two men are in a doctor's office.
Each of them are there to get a vasectomy.
The nurse comes into the room & tells both men
"Strip and put on these gowns before going in
to see the doctor to have your procedures done."
A few minutes later she returns & reaches into one man's gown &
proceeds to fondle and ultimately begins to masturbate him.
Shocked as he was, he asks
"Why are you doing that?"
To which she replies
"We have to vacate the sperm from your
system to have a clean procedure."
The man not wanting to be a problem and
enjoying it, allows her to complete her task.
After she is through, she proceeds to the next man.
She starts to fondle the man as she had the previous man,
but then drops to her knees and proceeds to give him oral sex.
The first man seeing this quickly responds,
"Hey! Why is it that I get masturbated & he gets a blowjob?"
The nurse simply replies,
"That is the difference between an HMO and Complete Coverage."
rabbit and the snake
One day this newborn rabbit & this newborn snake
get lost in the tall prairie grass & bump right
into each other. They're so new born that their
eyes are still shut, so they have to rely on touch
to find out what they bumped into.
The baby snake feels the rabbit & says,
"Hmm.. You're furry & warm & have long ears,
so you must be a rabbit."
So then the baby rabbit feels the snake & says,
"Hmm.. You're slimy & cold & have no balls,
so you must be a politician."
A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten
husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband,
"Please be gentle; I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom.
"How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure
how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it
and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked
out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order,
he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an Engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new
state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from Finance and Administration; he thought he
knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a nice product, he
was never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was...
God, I miss him!
But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the lawyer, "but, why?"
"Duh; you're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"
Aunt & Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary
was aunt bessie and uncle earl´s 50th weddin´ anniversary
and all the family was there......well they asked aunt bessie
to what did they owe the success of their marriage......
she said she owed it to the trip home, the day of their weddin´.....
so they pressed her to tell ém......she looked at earl and he nodded
ok......
so she said:
we wuz on our way home from the church in uncle earl´s new
wagon pulled by his favorite mule........and we were chattin´
like newly-weds and so on ---on the way to the house..this house.....
and the mule stumbled......and the wagon bounced me..his new bride.....
uncle earl looked at the mule and said real firm......THAT´S
ONE...........
well we took back up to enjoyin´ the ride to the house to begin
our honeymoon.......and the mule stumbled again.........and the wagon
bounced....
well your uncle earl said THAT´S TWO! and stopped that wagon......
he jumped down, walked up to that mule.......pulled out a pistol....
thumbcocked it.......and shot his favorite mule GRAVEYARD DEAD!!
and i exclaimed....EARL WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING!?!
earl looked at me standin´ there holdin´ that pistol and said.......
THAT´S ONE.
and i made dang sure he never got to two with me.
uncle earl says......and we been happily married ever since.
Hitchin' a Ride
An attractive woman from New York was driving through a remote
part of Texas when her car broke down.
An Indian on horseback came along and offered her a
ride to a nearby town.
She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off.
The ride was uneventful except that every few minutes the
Indian would let out a whoop so loud
that it would echo from the surrounding hills.
When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service
station, yelled one final, "Yahoo!" and rode off.
"What did you do to get that Indian so excited?" asked the
service station attendant.
"Nothing," shrugged the woman,
"I merely sat behind him on the horse,
put my arms around his waist,
and held onto his saddle horn so I wouldn't fall off."
"Lady," the attendant said, "Indians ride bareback......"
Now all it needs
is a skull and crossbones at pinksheets.com
definitely a good one!
That's not what my broker said.
I have them. They were HLS restricted shares
and now they are IDWD/HLS restricted shares.
My broker said they were now IDWD restricted shares
and that I could pay the $250 to get them unrestricted
since the year was up and that they would be IDWD shares
to trade at current prices....
Imo, it wasn't worth messing with.
I trust my brokers before I trust Downs.
back around '86 or '87
I was out hunting with one of my employees and his two brothers.
We all had deer and elk licenses.
I had a pretty big camper and it was working out pretty well....
except the bathroom didn't work so it was out to the woods...
we took turns cooking.
My turn came and and after being out from 5 a.m. and not getting
back until past 7....well it was my turn to cook.
I made what I call cowboy chili.....A big package of ground beef,
brown it, toss in a jar of hot Pace and simmer a couple minutes,
then toss in a big can of Dennison's chili.....and some jalapeños
It ain't fancy, but it's fast and calms the beast....
we all chowed down and didn't even bother with bread or crackers
all 3 of the others said how good it was even with it having beans
and yes.....we all forgot to bring some cheese.......
big mistake........
At 3 a.m. we were up and our cook was out groaning from my chili
so I made bacon and eggs and fried canned potatoes.....
during breakfast the other two brothers had to run outside into
that frosty cold air....and came back glaring and cussing...
and really wishing we had some ice cream
just so they could've begged come on Ice Cream during their
suffering...
we left camp just before 5 a.m. and it was still pretty dark.....
well really really dark....
we all knew where each other would be so we could be careful
not to shoot each other.....
In the dim light, I could barely make out the small trail up
to the top of a small mesa with some pine, quakies, and sage.
I got up and in the middle of the sage, moving quiet toward
the trees just above where I thought this herd of elk would
be bedded down.
and that chili hit me like a freight train.
I'm holding onto a BIG sage brush with one hand and my 30-06
with the other.....my .44 was unstrapped....and done quick too..
and that chili made an exit that was loud enough to be heard
off that little flat top.
And midway.....
there was a sudden explosion of elk all around me....
that herd of elk jumped up and all I could see were shadowed
forms in the darkness....and they thundered down off of there...
I got back to camp that night....
to find the left over chili being buried.....
They were all pissed at me.....
they said that herd of elk ran clear into the next county....
they said they heard the awful sound that chili did to me
and one of them said those elk practically ran over him
and he had to shimmy up a tree but it was too dark to see a rack.
I told them....I had walked right dead into the middle of those
elk and then had my emergency....and that it was awful because
I had an either sex tag but I couldn't handle my rifle and my .44
was hung on a big sage behind me.....in fact....I couldn't do
anything but ride that chili train till it was done.....
which fast as it was...wasn't fast enough to get a shot off
in that darkness with my pants around my ankles once
i could let go of that big sagebrush and actually stand up.....
The next a.m. I waited until first light and went and caught
a big mess of brookies in some beaver ponds for dinner......
left them in camp.....then walked up to the top of a small
ridge with a good line of sight on a meadow.....
A nice young 4 pt bull ambled out of the trees....
pissed and rolled in it and then fell with a nice neck shot.
We had elk liver and trout that night with baked potatoes
and canned peaches for dessert.
Thanks for the story.....
it's a good one for sure....
good one! REALLY REALLY good one! eom.
Welcome
For anyone wishing to post
I highly recommend reading the IBox
Back in the 70's
in college working on my first degree.....
well my roommate and I were pretty poor like some of our friends.
So a bunch of us would get together and go out
with a spotlight for groceries.
We all loaded a lot of our own ammo, even recycled shotgun shells.
For deer I brought along a few 12 ga. pumpkin balls
and one wild modified load to see what it would do....
I was going to test it on a bush....
What I did was take some some 10 or 12 lb. test fishing line
and really really fine lead from an old coffee can...
so the lead would push the fishing line.
I'd heard these things worked great on a game warden's radiator..
A friend of mine had a Chevy Blazer and out we went....
well we had quite a few rabbits and a young porcupine...
So we headed back and it was about 2 a.m. and this doe muley
came bouncing up alongside the right side about 10 feet away....
I put a 12 guage pumpkin ball right into her heart....
you could see it hit....Poof went the hair..
and boing boing boing she didn't even FLINCH
I let go with another one....boing boing boing at about 20-30 mph
3 MORE and there she was...BOING BOING BOING
I yelled THAT TEARS IT! LET'S SEE WHAT THIS THING DOES.....
I'M NOT TRACKING THIS THING IN THE DARK.....
I popped it in and chambered it.....
I hit her with that wild load.....
and it made a hole going in about 6 inches....
and BOOM......she went over sideways flipping and went down...
Brakes slammed on and the dust flew on that back gravel road....
we backed up and jumped out with the driver doing the spotlight..
So we go over to her....and her whole right side of her ribcage
is gone just under the backstraps....
and she was completely gutted except for the kidneys....
Lungs...heart....liver.....intestines....everything gone....
her esophogus was even pulled down and out from just below
her skull......That load had opened up like a net...
Thing was...wasn't but the liver, heart, and some ribs wasted...
and we had deer roasts and burger for a while.....
Not very sporting.....but hell....
we were starving college college students....

Watch Out for the Skull and Crossbones
New Pink Sheets Labels Flag the Worst Over-the-Counter Bets
By Nell Henderson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, July 29, 2007; F01
Riding the stock of Vision Airships during the past few months would have made any investor airsick.
The company, which described itself as a blimp business in the making, was trading at less than a penny in April when it suddenly shot to $3, only to crash like the Hindenburg to near zero this month.
The climb was fueled by hyperbolic press releases -- "We are on the road to explosive growth" -- and spam e-mail touting the stock. The subsequent flameout was best described by the Securities and Exchange Commission in an order issued Monday. The SEC said it had halted trading in the stock due to questions about the company's assertions regarding its acquisition of blimps, its funding for expansion and its potential revenue.
The turbulence of Vision Airships' shares highlights the sometimes dangerous world of over-the-counter stock investing. It's because of stocks like Vision Airships that companies quoted by an OTC service called Pink Sheets will start carrying warning labels this week.
Over-the-counter stocks are those not listed on the regulated stock exchanges and markets. Many of the companies are too small, thinly traded or financially troubled to be listed on exchanges and markets where issuers must meet minimum size and financial requirements.
Internet-based Pink Sheets publishes price quotes for about 8,000 over-the-counter securities. It does not require issuers to register with or report audited financial results to the SEC or other regulatory authority; some do, and some don't.
These securities "can be among the most risky investments," the SEC says in a note to investors on its Web site. "That's why you should take extra care to thoroughly research any company quoted exclusively in the Pink Sheets."
The warning labels, said Cromwell Coulson, chief executive of Pink Sheets, will help investors distinguish between dodgy and decent securities. For example, a black skull-and-crossbones icon would appear alongside securities promoted by spam or "other questionable action," said Coulson. The symbol will mean, "bad people are involved," he said. "Pirates. You should be careful."
Pink Sheets also displays price quotes for the securities of solid companies with real operations and earnings, including big-name multinational corporations.
Some issuers of stocks on Pink Sheets could list on U.S. exchanges but choose not to because of the cost of meeting the reporting requirements.
Many companies, such as Volkswagen, Heineken, Nestle and Nintendo, are listed on foreign exchanges and sell their American depositary receipts through Pink Sheets.
Several issuers, such as auto parts maker Delphi, have been delisted from an exchange because they are bankrupt or are going through some other financial distress.
The value of securities traded through Pink Sheets has ballooned in recent years, to $113 billion last year from $29 billion in 2000, the private company said. The number of shares traded topped 1 trillion last year, up from 22 billion in 2000.
So how to tell the promising from the poisonous?
In addition to the skull and crossbones, Pink Sheets will display symbols categorizing each security in terms of the extent and timeliness of the issuer's public financial reporting -- while not evaluating or endorsing the quality of those reports.
A pink check mark will appear next to those securities whose issuers currently and fully disclose their financial results. For example, about 3,000 Pink Sheets securities are also traded through the OTC Bulletin Board, which is owned by NASD and requires issuers to report their financial results to the SEC or another regulator.
A triangular "yield" symbol means the issuer has disclosed a limited amount of financial information in the past six months. A stop sign will mean the issuer has provided no information in six months.
Pink Sheets has also created a Web site, http://www.OTCQX.com, for what it considers its top tier of stocks or American depository receipts whose issuers have audited financial statements. So far, most are companies listed on foreign stock exchanges, like Wal-Mart de Mexico S.A.B de C.V.
"Hopefully, what we're doing is making more information available so the market can be more efficient," Coulson said.
Coulson also hopes the system will boost his business by helping market his higher-end offerings -- securities that might sell better if not tainted by association with some of the bad apples in the Pink Sheets barrel.
The stinkers include "shell companies, just in the business of issuing press releases and shares," and stocks being promoted through spam, Coulson said. "There's a fair amount of companies that are highly speculative and questionable."
And the new symbols, he added, are "not going to make bad companies go away."
So why does Pink Sheets display such quotes?
Because it is paid to.
The broker-dealers that sell the securities pay Pink Sheets to display their bid and ask prices. The broker-dealers must be registered with the SEC and members of NASD, formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers. But Pink Sheets itself is not a regulator, exchange or market.
When Coulson and other investors bought the company in 1997, it was known as the National Quotation Bureau, which published quotes on pink paper along with the broker-dealers' telephone numbers. The broker-dealers called one another to trade. "It used to be a phone book," Coulson said.
Over five years, Coulson's group renamed the service and moved it online, so investors could see real-time, firm price quotes, and trade electronically.
Pink Sheets helps many investors find undervalued securities or distressed companies that may recover.
"You potentially can identify companies that are attractive investments," said Robert E. Robotti, president of Robotti & Co., a financial firm that is both a broker-dealer and investor in Pink Sheets securities. But he added, "You need to know what you're looking at and assess what you think that business might be worth."
For investors who trade Pink Sheets securities, the new categorization system is an improvement, said Joseph P. Borg, president of the North American Securities Administrators Association. "More disclosure is better."
But Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America, said individual investors should steer clear of the risks. "For average retail investors, the entire category of Pink Sheets stocks should carry a skull-and-crossbones label," she said.
Coulson said he got the idea for the disclosure categories from eBay, which classifies its "PowerSellers" by their positive buyer feedback and high sales volume. But, he added, "there's a lot of stuff for sale on eBay that you'd never buy."

The nastiest joke, imo
so
back in the 80's was on the dock at one of my warehouses...
actually at the main warehouse....and of course my wife
worked in the business....so my warehouse manager was
out there and we were going over some logistics and
my wife came out....
and just bitched me up one side and down the other over
something.....all I remember is....I didn't even know
what in the hell she was talking about....
so she storms back into the office after her tirade.....
I looked at my Whse mgr.....and said what in the hell
was that about???? I was genuinely confused....
flat thunderstruck....
he pulled out his Copenhagen....tapped the lid....
put in a chew....looked at me and said.....
WOMEN.....
IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A GASH BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.....
THEY'D HAVE A BOUNTY ON THEIR HEADS!
I fell off the dock and nearly broke my leg
I collapsed with laughter......
SO, the next time a friend of yours....
when his halfside goes and does something like this....
THEN and only THEN
is the best time to tell this pearl of wisdom.....
just make sure he has a soft place to land
if he collapses from the irony of it......
OK
a pic over on the Men's Room flat WOKE ME UP!
So I have the mother-in-law from hell. If I say black...she says white.
At least once a year she asks my wife when she's going to divorce me.
Any visit she makes sure to be an absolute bitch and badmouths me....
My Father told me....if the girl's mother hates you, she's probably a keeper.
Well, he was right....almost 28 years so far.
Now in your first few years of marriage.....there's things a guy
doesn't learn until after he get's married, like you MUST see your
in-laws at XMas.... So after about 7 years of that torture and
putting up with my M-in-law at Xmas....i.e. Oh she gives my wife
and I ski jackets..... My wife gets one that is Black and blue..
I get one....
That's PINK....yes......friggin PINK....and that one set me off.
I don't get mad....I get EVEN.
So of course the mother-in-law asks me to take out the trash....
with all the food scraps from the Xmas dinner.....
so....
I take it out to the garage.....and think Hmmmmm...
so their garage has shelves.....full of all kinds of crap....
so I put that garbage bag up on the shelf.
Now that's Dec. when it's cold.....
BUT......by March.....their house has a smell creeping in.....
the mother-in-law is complaining on the phone to my wife
about it....they think they have a sewer problem.
Well my wife drags me to her 4th of July family crap....
NOW my mother-in-law thinks they have a dead animal in the
attic or in a wall.....
so.....
while we're there....
My father-in-law is asking me if I had any ideas what they
could do about the smell.....so I told him I'd check his attic...
so I went in the garage....held my breath.....
got that bag of nasty and tied it off.....
and put it out in the trash.....
and then it happened.....there was this huge garden snake out
by their trash cans....
Now remembering my Mother-in-law is deathly afraid of snakes....
I picked it up.....and walked back to where all the family was...
said WOW look what I found up in your attic......
this must be what was causing that smell!!!!
I was a hero....
and my mother-in-law left me alone for a couple of years.....
and....gave us a check for X-mas after that....
oh...and they sold their house and moved.....
and that was only one time I got even.....
and no
my wife doesn't know and NEVER WILL.
Welcome to the Men's Campfire!
It's 3:41 a.m. and I'm off to get some sleep.
Hopefully by tomorrow, I'll have some real posts to put up.
Let 'er RIP!
I did.....
There's the Men's room, Guy's only board,
and mine would pretty much round out the selection
of what men (well some of them anyway) might be
interested in talking about.
well what I have in mind will be different
than the men's room where the genre seems to be set.
In mine the pics posted will have to have relevance to
any story/scenario being told/discussed.....
Who knows, IHub could be filled with suits and city slickers...
that don't even know how to change their oil, but I doubt it...
There's a lot of men out there that may be stuck in an office
but a lot of them come out here to vacation fish and hunt.
Of course some of them will shoot Texas slow elk (cattle) on
occasion, but most look at it as the highlight of their year.
They'll have their game butchered & processed and take it home.
They grill their fish in camp. Some get come out for ice fishing
and get lazy and drive out on the ice.
Last year a nice big 4x4 truck ended up at the lake bottom.
The booming sound the ice made sounded like thunder when it
cracked and anyone on the ice ran like rabbits for the shore.
Of course there was quite a bit of profanity in the air....
I was hoping it wouldn't have to be premium to attract more
posters, but premium does sound like the way to go.
The Men's Room is a success obviously.
Thanks for the assist.
Don't know about the next one
but I'm betting there will absolutely be one
just after Dec. 15th which I outlined
to the Sec compliance officer I spoke with....
So it may take a little patience....
but if Joey does his nonsense again....
around Dec. 15th....just after to be exact between
Dec. 15th, 2007 and Jan. 7, 2008
it's going to hit the fan.
I need a little help please.
I'm thinking of creating a board, for men only (my choice)....
For fishing, hunting, hot rodding and other things some men
might like to talk about.....and share stories and be able
to be descriptive so the flavor doesn't get subdued...
tell jokes and make coarse remarks as some men are known to do,
not X Rated, but more like Rated R.
Now I'm a big supporter of the IHub TOU and its enforcement.
I find it incredibly appropriate for the stock boards
where civil and courteous discussion is vital.
However, the board I'm proposing would obviously entertain
some profanity and vulgarity at times.
The Men's Room is great and fills its niche very well.
However it seems to have gained a particular focus....
and it gets a huge number of posts already...
1) How do I go about setting up the board I have in mind
without causing TOU violation problems.
2) How do we ban women who sneak in and those namby pamby types
offended by some of us who partake of some of the rougher side
of life?
3) There obviously has to be some boundaries, what would they be?
i.e. Guy is fishing on a Pontoon boat and is relieving himself
and a fish bites......he grabs the fishing pole and his pants
fall down and someone takes a pic as he pulls up the fish
which was about a 5 inch long fish........it was hysterical...
i.e. A guy is working on his truck, the carburator backfire
catches his hair on fire and some of the language that ensued
amidst our tears of laughter included animals....
i.e. after a long day of hunting and cowboy chili for dinner,
sitting out at the fire quenching our thirst, one guy is over
taken with a bout of flatulence and then someone decides to
light him up so to speak......
i.e. A rabbit hunter has an easy way to field dress rabbits
that is extremely efficacious, but in describing the process
it's definitely not dinner table talk for some.
Thanks
Perhaps they forgot the one that said
Thou Shalt not STEAL.....
No......
My brokerages say they haven't received them for
distribution.
I forget, but it happened quite a few months ago.
there were some posts about it in this forum as well.
I have the dividend shares in my account.
I confirmed with the brokerage that they had in fact
undergone some transformation from HLS and were now
IDWD restricted shares. The restriction was one year
and you can get the shares released if you do the process
and spend $250.
The only thing I will believe from IDWD is if and when
I ever see any additional dividend shares. It would be
nice to see a PR or two with some kind of update, but
still wouldn't hold my breath.
Thanks! Perfect!
Talk about OUCH!
Well you can't serve papers for a civil action if no one is there.
It might be a good idea to ask Ameritrade about that D
on the end of the name. Talk with their reorganization
dept and see if can shed any light about the company.
Well by what's just been provided....
it looks like a pump and dump scam.
It also looks like getting the SEC to step in is a good idea.
Definitely looks like I don't want to buy any by your synopsis.
Thanks to you and kazorchian both for the insight.
I also have say I'm impressed with the quality and
courtesy this board maintains in spite of the facts
surrounding the company.
Finding a Pink that's the genuine article......
the real deal.....is getting harder and harder anymore.
Even finding one that has genuine possibilities
is getting tougher, imo.
