I would love to see what comes out of looking into Leo Van; he really has nothing to do with anyone I know; REALLY. The name dropping was done because the behavior was SO similar to CA; but really; just a coincidence. Poor Leo, he was a sitting duck. I have no idea who he is at all, but I am pretty sure he is small-time and naive to the core; but hey, let's see. Personally, his style and hyping drive me nuts too believe it or not. Doing it and listening to it are two different things.

I think a few months ago you must have thought I was a real crackpot, but I hope you now appreciate a little better what is really going on behind all of this. The cat is part-way out of the bag; but not completely. The WSJ was a surprise to me. Nobody had the decency to tell me the story was running until I heard about it on this thread; and considering ...! The Washington Post may be the next article picking up where the WSJ left off. I never know when an editor is going to pick up the stories. As far as doing a story; that assignment finished with the sudden "death" and the job was done at that point. Now I get to be a regular member for once and have some fun being an investor and trying to save myself from my to-date loss.

Techie, we are having good fun with all this I hope, and really I mean this; YOU ARE OK!!! I really do think that you would get a lot of laughs having a few drinks with me someday up in NYC and appreciating the joke of the whole thing. In real life, I am a lot of fun. I would give you a call if you were up to it; I still have the number.

I get this lousy assignment and I ended up losing out of pocket money because I got the investment bug following all of you!!!!! I really am exactly what this is all about; I am a small-time investor thanks to the internet; and yes I am an AMTX investor.

P.S. - reporters rarely do stories on other reporter; who wants to read that kind of a story! Remember when the politicians wanted the reporters personal lives investigated like their personal lives were; it never happened. Why? Nobody would read the story.
