Anthony,
I've gotta admit, I have mixed emotions regarding AGTI posting on this thread. First, do you know for sure that they even read SI? I mentioned SI to Bob Hunziker long ago and he had never heard of it. My only point is that, if the company does not respond, that does not automatically translate into a negative. It may simply mean they don't follow SI. If you are sure you want to pursue this, I suggest you might call the company and inform them of your desire. This way we will know with certainty that they understand the intent.
Secondly, I would hate to see the conversation turn into a slamming session. I'm not suggesting that you or anyone else would intentionally allow things to drift in that direction, but I know from experience that things can get out of hand quickly if there is some misunderstanding or miscommunication. Just look at the bad diplomacy spewing from me PERSONALLY in the short feud with Ga Bard, only a week or so ago. It would be easy for me to blame it on miscommunication and misunderstanding of each other's intentions, but the fact is, I said some stupid, hurtful things to the very guy who supports our AGTI investment -- yours and mine -- to the hilt, no holds barred. See my point? If you were to substitute Chris Sargent or Bob Hunziker for Ga Bard or Hardrocker, that dialogue could have been very damaging to the company. Very damaging for OUR investments. AGTI could find themselves in a "damned if we do, damned if we don't", no win situation.
Third, and I'm purely speaking for myself -- I communicate regularly with either Chris Sargent or Bob Hunziker and have indicated so on this thread. They always try to answer my questions, so long as the answers do not violate the sanctity of SEC constraints. If I inadvertently ask something which crosses the line of this constraint, they politely inform me that they cannot answer my question. I'm not sure what additional information I might gain if AGTI posted to SI, as opposed to my telephone conversations with Chris and Bob.
Finally, and most important, is the anonymous nature of SI posters. I am concerned that a "subversive" from one of AGTI's competitors might join our thread, posing as a shareholder, and deliberately lambast AGTI with leading questions. What I'm describing is not an open, honest debate -- it would be guerilla warfare of the ugliest kind. Remember, of the various competitors for electronic bingo, only AGTI is publicly held. Only AGTI is bound by SEC rules and ethics. We are all shareholders and we all have something to lose if AGTI starts getting blasted by an invisible foe, a foe we unwittingly invited right into the living room. I, for one, would hate to look back with regret.
