Greetings Jay,

This seems like a very long winded answer to Linda's question: Were you paid to promote HEB?

I noticed you failed to state specifically if you are paid to promote HEB or not when you said:

<<<For the record, HEB came to our June 1997 BioMedTech conference. That service has been rendered.>>>

"That service has been rendered",,,, Hmmmm,,, It seems as though you are sort of skirting the issue of whether you got paid Jay?

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't companies pay somewhere around $8,000 to attend your conferences? Perhaps you could be specific on the dollar amount.

Also Jay, perhaps you could give us just one example of a company that attended Westergaard's conferences and did not receive some sort of "Bullish" coverage from Westergaard's organization. Or better yet -- give us just one example of a company that paid Westergaard to promote them -- either by attending their conference or by some other means, that got some negative coverage.

While you may be a good analyst Jay, I find your inability to be up-front about your obvious position as a paid tout for HEB to be a little disturbing.

As to your comments about my own investment ideas -- Jay I post my buys and sells on AOL in the Shark Tank, and for 1997 I have approx. 86% winning trades, with my posted portfolio up some where around 140ish%. How have you done this year?

HEB may be a great company, and I wish all of the HEB investors the best with their investment, but I think it is important to know where Jay and Westergaard come from when speaking about HEB. I question whether they would be very objective at pointing out some of the more serious downside risks to an investment they are paid to promote, and I find it disturbing the way they try to imply they are providing unbiased analysis while taking money from a company.

Cheers Steve
