Scott:

Sounds like you summed it up pretty well, and you already know the
answer.

There MAY be another reason for this type issue, but the only
reason I see is: "Our company is in DEEP financial doo-doo. We
cannot even issue Junk bonds....nobody would buy them. BUT, if
we promise 2 or 3 to 1 leverage (e.g. 200% -300% "interest") we
may get some takers & NOT have the debt on the books."

This is just my personal opinion, period.

I cannot see how this benefits the poor common shareholder in any way.
I HOPE someone can tell me why I am wrong. I'd like to think there
was a good side to these offerings.
