Hi crs,

Easy. I didn't mean your request for definitions when I talked about personal posts. I would be happy to do that but I think Ray posted some pointers that I figured would help. If you have trouble with what you saw there, I can try to make the terms easier to understand. On the other hand, the 'hillbillies' comment was again totally out of line. Ray tried to help, those pointers are pretty good reading if you really are interested. Otherwise, ask questions and some of us will try to answer as time permits.

I was more concerned about the personal tone of the post you made to Doug. You don't need to get offended, or attack people or their decisions to invest in companies they want to if those companies happen to be trying to compete with companies you are invested in (e.g. FTEL vs IDTC).

As far as FTEL goes, I like the company as a speculative investment in a field I am interested in. I dont think it is the be all and end all in IP telephony, but am happy to listen to contrarian opinions based on reasons I can check out for myself. I am sort of negative about FTEL based on the kinds of responses posts about FTEL generate, but the company seems alright. Small, growing, but that's about it. I wouldn't bet my future on it, nor would I slam it down as the next big lie to be foisted on the small investor.

I am glad you have made a lot of money this year, so have a lot of other people. You don't need to get argumentative about it if people choose companies other than the ones you have chosen for investing in. It is that tone that I would prefer not to see here.

I really am happy to hear about the IP companies you made money on, how you discovered them, what made you choose them over all the others etc.

Thanks,

-Atin
