SPOOZ Inc (SPZI)

[ITGuy]

Hey Trader,

My visit was about 3 weeks ago now so I couldn't tell you at the time if the decision about Jim was made before or after that. I didn't know about it till it was posted. However, you have to know that not all info that is found out by people on the board is passed on to everyone on the board. Darryl, I, and a couple others talked about several things related to business. But, as you may have seen on this board before, that when someone relays some amount of info, especially if it's not great news, it is scrutinized, blown out of proportion a great deal, and ends up putting all the optimistic people on the defensive. We have not the time nor the inclination to let ourselves become a target for pessimistic antagonism. We're not company PR people so a lot of times it's our impressions from conversations that we relay to the board - not a lot of direct quotes or detailed information. That's just covering our butts. We do what we can for the board because we want to see Spooz succeed - as well as investors - but we can only say/do so much.

The subject of Jim's employment didn't come up when we talked - nor did I even think of it as an issue - that his employment changed. I just knew they consolidated people and offices with 141. Heck, I didn't even see the new office. We just happen to catch Darryl in the hallway as he was moving some items from the old to new offices. He stopped and we talked for a good amount of time before we had to go. There was no one else in the office at that time otherwise we would have tried to talk to them too.

I'm not terribly happy in the way things have turned out so far but I'm certainly not going to complain about it to everyone on the board and expect them to convince or cheer me up. I've done my research and talked directly with the Spooz and while my current enthusiasm is not sky-high, I do still see the potential. I certainly don't want to come across as a blind pumper on the board and I also don't want to have to defend Spooz all the time from the bashers either. Everyone needs to do their own DD and decide for themselves if they want to invest or not.

Once the Bloomberg deal comes to fruition, most of the negative talk should go away and we can have some good conversations. Overall enthusiasm on the board will skyrocket too at that point.
