<<Mike, I'm sorry you got hammered in the stock previously. BUT, i don't think there was an internet frenzy in april,1997. Times have changed a bit with NEW management and NEW products. I'm not expecting E bay type madness but the story has a hell of alot more potential now.>>

I did not get hammered. I bought in the $5-6 range last year. I was merely pointing out that the company has made false starts in the past. There are not really any new products recently, just some enhancements and a few promising partnerships to improve on the casepoint product. They did have new products last year though, including the web-based case point product (the key to INFR) which was introduced last year prior to one of the false starts, for example. I agree though that the story is much better now under Jepson. As for there not being any internet frenzy last year, I dont really know how to respond. Last year's interent frenzies (AOL, spyglass, netscape) were the main reason most of us got into Inference when it was battered down last year. Im sorry if I came across as condescending in my remarks about "credibility", but I am being sincere. You seem like a very bright person and you should be careful about how you come across (ie. like suggesting there were no internet frenzies in 1997) or your credibily suffers unnecessarily.

<<Regarding credibility, discussing possibilities is what this board is all about and if you did'nt notice, someone likes the story or they wouldn't have purchased 100,000 shares at 6.50 today.>>

Sorry, I thought you were speaking in terms of absolutes and I react badly to hypesters. The last paragraphs in your posts #1011 and 1016 seemed like hype. Im sure I was mistaken.

<<As for the *story* being largely unchanged you must be sleeping, I don't remember INFR having a deal with AOL in 1997. Add new management, new markets, new products.... and it adds up too new potential. Worry about your own credibility,pal (you condescending twit).>>

Yes, the story under Jepson is better and the direct selling effort
seems to be finally taking hold. I disagree that there are new products and markets, however. I think they are largely the same...but execution and marketing are getting much better. I do
try to take good care of my credibility. After all, I use my real/full name.

<<This isn't 1997, Rip van winkle or whatever your name is, wake up to new potential or sell and stop crying about your losses from Tierney's era. Also, put your pee soaked wet blanket in the dryer, you're dripping on our hopes that something long awaited will happen.>>

Im sorry if I offended you. I reviewed my post and could not really
see anything that would justify your onslaught of insults. As I said, I react badly to what I perceive as hype that is not adequately supported. I also apologiize if you took offense at my suggestion that INFR was like a dog that has had trouble getting paper-trained. I was merely expanding on your reference to INFR as a "puppy".

I have made what I hope were worthwhile observations about INFR on this board and I would hope to continue, but not if it is taken over by people more interested in hype and insults. Please lets return the focus to INFR.

Good luck with your investment.
