Angel D,

First of all, I've been on this thread a long time and I've always liked the fact that its participants have generally accepted newcomers with open arms and helpful advice. I believe that this is in large part due to the new participants' normally respectful dispositions and general willingness to contribute research and information as they find it.

Then you come along with what was a politely worded yet somewhat unreasonable request for a single participant, lakers17, to bring you up to speed on the company. You claim that you don't have time to read through 2300+ posts. Who does? But is this really the forum upon which you make your investment decisions? Certainly you can learn a lot here, but relying on this or any other thread as a primary source for DD is risky at best.

Have you considered doing some research? Reading press releases? Calling the company? Reading the web site? Using the product? How about reading the (admittedly outdated) "header" at the beginning of this thread? These are the processes that myself and most of the people on this thread have gone through to make our investment decisions as informed as possible. If you want to sink money into a stock -- especially a penny -- based on a friend's recommendation or a message thread or an IM from a thread member (no offense, lakers), that's your decision. But I think it's improper of you to expect others to supply your research for you.

OK, so you ask for a little help. And lakers17 helped you out by sending you a personal message, sparing thread regulars from a post that simply rehashes stuff we've seen a hundred times.

And somehow you criticize him for going out of his way to help you, just because he didn't post the response to the thread? You should be on your knees in appreciation! You even go so far as to become basically threatening (I am The Angel D. I am the meanest SOB you have ever seen)! And you then have the gall to as other people for more of the same? Unreal.

You evidently have some sort of "image" to uphold and you're gonna do things your way, I guess. But I feel that you'll be more likely to learn what you want to learn about this stock -- DD or no DD -- if you were a little more respectful and appreciative towards the people who can help you make money.
