Auric,

Unlike others in the past I have never been one of those who criticized your shorting of this stock. I always believed that you had an intuitive understanding that companies in development with little or no earnings, like ASTN, are bound to have delays, product development issues and/or financial issues that impede their progress and were thus "fair game" for short traders.

For the first time, I believe your motives are far more transparent than I realized. I don't believe you're terribly interested in exploiting excessive investor zeal for your own profit, I now believe you are more interested in creating the perception of problems where there are none.

There is nothing in that article that even remotely connects the management of ASTN to boilerroom tactics. If that were indeed the case you would be 100% correct in your assessment and I would congratulate you on your remarkable insight.

If you were objective about this you would make a concerted effort for us poor deluded longs to convince us that management is aparty to these events.

What I did notice is that you conveniently skipped over this point in your reply to MST

Schmuck!

Best Regards, Ed S.
