Jim,
After a long and unsure day, I have done something that I would recommend EVERYONE here do at least once in the next several hours..(I am referring to waking hours here)...I turned the machine off and I walked away from it.

In the time away, I have had a chance to absorb and really think about everything that has happened here today, and all of the posts, good, bad, funny, and ugly. While a little speculative, you are probably not far from the truth in your assessment of why Dan Fisher did what he allegedly did.

I have my own personal doubts as to whether we will ever know the real story or not, but I do know that if we have any chance at all, it is with Gary.

I reacted to your first post on this thread because it was one of an attacking nature. You came here with the automatic implication that Gary would do something unethical in his email, with no basis or cause whatsoever. It was a deliberate, unprovoked attack on a person who is voluntarily and at great expense taking the time to keep us informed. It was wrong of you to bring that implication to this thread, and I stand by that position.

My previous reaction to you was not one of a "poison mind", however one of past experience. Suffice it to say that while I did not post very much, my money has been in these OTC stocks for much longer. I take offense to the implication that I cannot or do not form my own opinions regarding people or stock. I am quite capable of independent thought, thank you.

The very last thing I am trying to do is to encourage anyone to bury their head in the sand! That would be insane. Yes, this situation stinks. Yes, we have been abandoned by the officers. Yes, it is a sad state of affairs when an investor has to volunteer his services as IR just to keep shareholders informed. Yes, it is bad...very very bad.

But, what can be done? People can either Buy, Sell, or Hold. Thats it. No other choices here. Crying doesn't help. Voodoo Dolls don't help. Blaming each other does not help. The only thing ANY of us can do at this point is to evaluate the information, make a personal decision based on our own goals, and act accordingly.

All I did was share my decision to hold with those on this thread, and the reasons why I chose that. That may not be the best for everybody else..it is just what I did.

Good Luck to All,
:-)
