Let's go back to my literary analogy, to the creation of literature. The greatness of a piece of writing is not found in its grammatical correctness. How many text books did you have to read in your education that had to be read over and over to get the point? Often times this sort of thing is not caused by the complexity of the material but by the poor delivery. Actually, to give an example, that last article about Integral that someone put up here a few weeks ago was, in my opinion, poorly written -- embarrassingly so. What makes a piece of writing good is the author's ability use words to transmit clear ideas to the mind of the reader, without the reader having to work it over, guess, or subconsciously add bits to make the meaning clear. This is not done through correct grammar, but through rhetorical techniques. These are not the same things.
That being said, you are perfectly accurate to say that Integral should be reporting - and, indeed, reporting the kind of things that indicate that the company is doing well -- this would be good grammar and good content.
However, what I am saying is that the content is far more important than the correctness of the grammar. So with Integral, the content will be revenue at some point, but even more fundamentally, the content of the ITKG rough draft is the inherent potential of electriplast and the very real possibility this plastic being adopted by industry.
So, I am speaking to everyone out there -- if you are buying Integral as a short-term play, that is hopeful a good thing -- but don't cry in your beer later when you realize what it is that you once had in your portfolio. If you are not buying Integral because they can't seem to get their paperwork done, I would say that with this kind of an investment, you have the accent on the wrong syllable. And to investors like me who are here because of we think that the management will pull this off, though they appear to be bumbling around -- that they will pull it off because of the inherent qualities of electriplast, I would say, "stay the course, steady as she goes, you have already lost your shirts so why bail now," -- "that greatness is in the making" Do you know that Ernest Hemingway reworked The Old Man and the Sea 87 time. The story first appeared in seed form in the April 1936 edition of Esquire but did not get finished until the early 50's. When it came into print, its success was immediate. It was and is a great piece. It was specifically cited when the Nobel Prize for Literature was a awarded to Hemingway in 1954. It was "the greatest prize of his career" says Charles Scribner Jr. I have my own hardback copy in my hands right now. It is my all time favourite work of this genre. I think electripalst will get publish -- sort of speak -- and when it does, its consumption rate will be parabolic.
This is my take on things, Thin. This is an honest and friendly response. I am not worried about the crossing of "t"s and dotting of "i." I am not even looking for revenue, but for evidence of industry acceptance. I am not absolutely sure of things -- if I were I would be buying every share I could -- I am not. I am, however, reasonably satisfied enough with the content of the last phone conference to hold and to offer this counter opinion to contributors who, I think, are looking too close -- you know the old adage -- you can't see the forest for the trees. However, to be fair, you could say, "What trees?"
Edgar
P.S. Don't disregard what I am saying if you find a grammatical error. I am a lousy proofreader. And, I do not think that the management team is bumbling -- I think they are focusing all resources on the quality of the content of this story, not on the editing -- that will come.
