TO:ALL FR: PHILM I have been "lurking" on this board for months. This is one of a few that I browse. I have a modest amount of IATV shares. I invest for personal satisfaction and the opportunity to make a profit. I am not a professional and don't pretend to be. I have watched the turbulence over the past couple of days with a great deal of interest and dismay. Having done my DD, I continue to believe "Interactive TV" will be a future driving force in the entertainment arena. Has the opportunity for IATV to be successful in this capacity been terminated? Will IATV melt into oblivion? Is the technology dead? What has really occurred over the past couple of days? What has occurred in my opinion is simple stock manipulation working on the fear of others to make a short term profit. Who loses? The poor investors who become skittish and doubt their own DD or vision of interactive TV. Will this short term depreciation matter in five years? I doubt it. These are just some thoughts from a novice investor who believes IATV will have a successful long term future. If I am wrong, I learn a tough lesson and go back to the large caps. If I am correct, I own a piece of a company that will definitely leave an imprint on the entertainment industry. Thoughts? Rgds AND CONTINUE TO BE...LONG ON IATV (foolish or not). PHILM
