IAMSAM--What a breath of fresh air you provide to this board. Post more! Please!
By the way, I still have a few "left field" posts left in me! lol! Back in early 2000 when I bombarded this board with the message that WAVE was all about INTEROPERABILITY and TRUSTED WEB SERVICES and a DEFACTO PLATFORM for Trusted Computing, I was considered, to put it very mildly "way, way, left field". Those ideas are pretty much mainstream nowadays. Understanding WAVE is much more of a macro systems play rather than simply a techie one, which is probably why it was typically the non-techie types who were much more receptive to those earlier Interoperability et al ideas compared to the techie types(most of whom, even up till now, never, ever touch the World-Wide macro ambitions of this little ole company).
And oh yes, you are so correct when you write: "Hey, isn't freedom of speech grand." Glad to see you stand strong and unyielding with reason, logic and common sense at your side. But, heck, that has always been the IAMSAM signature!
You've been a loyal and contributing Wavoid for nearly 10 years! No one is going to bully you! Not even me!!! lol!!
Shalom!

PS Though I must tell you that you are absolutely wrong about the 25 cents as a realistic possibility. In my very unhumble opinion this investment is TRANSPARENTLY SET to take off into the double digits near term. Of course, I proclaimed the same firm prediction way back during the day and age of the Hitachi/WAVE PRs...but that was a niche play, and WAVE is fundamentally a Trusted Computing macro play....and Trusted Computing has ALREADY ARRIVED. And WAVE is going to be even bigger and grander than anyone on this board or outside it could possibly even begin to imagine!!!
