I must apologize for adding "nothing" to this board. I guess my point of view and analysis is "nothing" because it doesn't agree with yours. I thought that opposing points of view is what makes a market. Oh well, guess I'm wrong.

However, congrats to all of you who made money on this so far. You've certainly had a nice ride up and that is the reason we invest; to make money.

As to the individual who claims I add nothing; you don't know who I am, or how long I've been involved in the ongoing v-chip saga or anything for that matter.

However, here are the facts:

- There are NO signed deals in place yet. the company stated they would finish off the Sharp deal in March, but that never happenned. If you to the Sharp web-site, they already are selling v-chip equipped TV's that meet the FCC and CEMA technical standard, of which involves the rewiring of the closed caption chip.

- There are 7 known other OEM's with v-chip equipped TV's selling in the STates. Each of them has also reconfigured their closed caption chip.

- There is ONE ratings system that was adopted as the standard in the states, not more than one.

- Insiders at TVL just sold 2.5 M shares at about 2 bucks C per share after they hyped the stock by taking advantage of the disaster in Littleton, Co.

- I have stated they needed cash for months and this is how they got it. (as they loan back money to the company and pay themselves interest).

- TV OEM's will not do anything they aren't forced to do unless it will save them money. I personally worked in that industry for a while and that's a guarantee. it's all about the bottom line.

These are facts. I'm sorry if you don't like them. Yes, you guys have made a lot of money lately, so have I. We've done it differently and will continue to do so I guess.

Anyhow, good luck to all.
