<<I think that it is unfortunate that individuals who bring contrary thinking and comments about stocks get flamed so quickly and decisively.>>

If the comments were not rehashed versions of the complaints that many of us have encountered on AOL and Prodigy for YEARS, perhaps we wouldn't be so suspect.

If we hadn't noticed the DELIBERATE pattern of short selling and trading that has kept this stock price from reflecting the reality of IMMINENT commercialization.

It is disingenuous to assume the stance of the "bashed" victim. Richard has NOT been attacked---he along with Gary, streatsmart, etc have been EXPOSED!

I am not saying he did not have legitimate gripes against the company. I know plenty of REFR advocates from 1994-5 who bought expecting commercialization was tomorrow. Anyone who spoke with Bob Thompson couldn't help but be caught up in his enthusiasm and believe that it was around the corner. What they failed to recognize is, that for Bob Thompson who had stuck with this dream for 30 years, 2 YEARS down the road MEANT imminent. He was an inventor and a visionary and a GOOD man. I have heard his and Bob Saxe's reputation maligned by people who don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence.

Anyone who did their homework knew the complexity of the technology and knew that because it worked in the lab it didn't mean you would see a product next week. Now we are at the point these people thought we were at 2 years ago and they continue to dredge up irrelevant and misleading information because they felt "lied to" when they didn't make their millions right away.

So I am sorry if you find it offensive but I have no tolerance for their foolishness and I question the motives of people who have openly admitted to trading this stock. I am VERY suspicious when I see the number of short sales.

By the way, the GE question was addressed AGAIN today by Bob Saxe. I wasn't on the call but perhaps someone who was could spell it out very slowly and succinctly so we can put it to rest once and for all!!!

These opinions do not reflect those of management nor of any other investor on this board and are not to be misconstrued by ANYONE as a recommendation for or against purchase of REFR.
