Can't really see how you could consider me to be disingenuous when my post was nothing but candid and frank. I wrote what I wrote and feel what I feel without regard to receipt of shares

The appearance of conflicting interest is the same as...

I was never "hired" by ETPI, never had a contract. The 10K shares was essentially a gift for doing an awful lot of homework on my own to help them on their internet ventures and to give them some general advice on how to better word press releases with links and such to give them a little more pizazz and more readership.

Do you think purchases were directly influence by your positioning? I recall no mention of 1M share presents being redeemed in the near future.

Basically, I was being an active investor in trying to help my investment grow, as I do with many companies whose stock I own (see EBLD, for example). It was unsolicitated but much appreciated, and an indication of how Doug Butcher feels towards supportive investors.

Yes, and we are learning how he can be towards unappreciative investors.

I do believe that we have to give Doug & Company the 1st two quarters to complete their "Focus & Finish" objectives, and then see the results of their efforts in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. Like I said before, if we don't see a turnaround in net income in the 3rd and 4th qtrs, I think ETPI, Doug, and the investors will... yada yada

Where is the flip side? Where are your messages TO MANAGEMENT to get their butts in gear? Now that their clear incompentence (my opinion) has come out, you're writing in the passive voice. It is beyond belief that you were working with them on a close enough basis to receive compensation and NOT notice and report the fissures in their business talents. PREFSTOCK hyped and then disappeared, Marcus is soliciting but hasn't reported compensation but your actions have *possibly* directly contributed to investor perceptions of this management far beyond their addlepated abilities.
