E-mail from FNTT I.R about NASD fine.
>First, let me say, first and foremost, we value you as a shareholder of 1st
>Net Technologies, Inc. What you sent me is stuff that was posted eight
>months ago. Since that time, we've actually had one UT reporter visit us,
>and we showed him all the new technology products we're developing and
>launching. What you sent me is like sending me articles about Clinton's
>"sexcapades" at the White House. It's OLD news!! We are in the process of
>making hard decisions about SSP management. I can't tell you what's going to
>happen, but we're focusing here on our core technologies and bringing them
>to market, not on online publications and investor relations services. You
>should know that THAT business has paid the light bills and enabled us to
>achieve good things with our core technologies. Bauder's article, Greg
>Writer's past, and all that stuff has been dealt with. Greg has stepped down
>as CEO of 1st Net until we can bring the right tech guy in. I know you don't
>have the resources to visit us, but the invitation stands. I doubt we'll see
>Janice Shell at our door any time soon. She shoots first and asks questions
>later. That's her style. We stopped responding to anything on the SI thread
>months ago because we realized the people spreading dirt have no interest in
>the truth. They are out to destroy whatever they can to realize short sale
>profits. As I stated earlier, Rome wasn't built in a day, and short sellers
>don't always succeed in discrediting their targets. We'll see who wins out
>in the long run, but I wouldn't follow Janice Shell. Isn't SHE being
>litigated now, herself?
>Hang in there if you can Tom. This game is far from over.

I really can't be bothered to reformat it, unreadable as it is.
I did try to reply, but RB's pretty much unusable now, with its perpetual "internal server errors". So I'll do it here:
Fascinating! The IR Guy is actually ADVISING people to buy stock?!? That's a major no-no.
Gluttons for punishment, I guess, what with the SEC investigating SSP. |
