it's one thing to question aspects regarding the AS .. but quite another when one presents that as *fact*
your words ~
-- Management has illustrated quite clearly they use the A/S, hence the need to raise it constantly. Last year around this time I believe it was only about 50 million, so don't even try to argue they haven't turned dilution into an art.
you are only off by a few years ;-)
-- there is no point in *arguing* .. actual filings with <gasp> links are so much more *effective* for folks to ascertain *facts* .. btw .. it would help if *some* understood the AS vs. the OS and why the AS is always *higher*
oh and one other question ... every *investor* into spng should be asking themselves .. is this co. static? .. or have *aspects* changed for spongetech since august of 2006 :)

--- now it's pretty clear that management was savvy enough to adjust the AS as needed .. that works both ways .. as many noted .. back in august when confirmation of the AS being *reduced* was indeed *fact*
i'd also remind folks that the dicon acq was 8k'd as a *done deal* had they wanted to toy with folks they could have gone the route so many other co.s do
an loi a DA and voila months later acq 8k'd
they didn't do any of that
again .. it's very clear management could care less about those who aren't *invested* in the co.
