Rob: I know you weren't addressing me, but that has never stopped me from chiming in before. I have heard the argument before that people who own a stock should not post negatively about the stock, and to do so is contrary to the interests of shareholders. I, however, disagree. I believe that it is quite healthy to to have frank, open discussions, even if those discussions are not always positive and uplifting. These discussions can be vaulable, provided, of course, that they are truthful and in good faith, regardless of whether they influence stock price or not.

Moving on to the subject at hand - though I would not necessarily have used the word "fluff", I nonetheless found little redeeming value in yesterday's PR. While it might be newsworthy if a Board Member bought 1,000,000 shares, it is a bit of a no-never-mind when someone buys 50,000 or so. In general, most companies only announce *significant* insider trades in a PR. The lower denomination trades are usually relegated to SEC filings. Having said that, I am glad to see the buying by those in the know.

I am still waiting patiently for *the* PR, though. When that happens, the rest will pale in comparison.

Hitimer,, God help those who read rb if they want to make a purchase in this stock.. If anyone decides that they do not or will not invest due to my posts that have legitmate questioning of what does and does not happen to this company then so be it.. Anyone with any intelegince shouldn't base their investment decisions on a message board..

Wouldn't one rather base their decisions on what the company has and has not done rather than little ole me??

Something to think about???
