Very nice to see you posting real info. I would have to say you are on the right track and so is the company. But, one think does not make sense! Why as you said would a large industry do something like this. They could poor millions into this process and own the world market? Any how thank you for the informative post.

Keep laughing Mr. Licensed PE of New Mexico ... Keep making public statements I love it when you post. I like the connection you have to Chuck too. I like the 20,000 shares that was asked for and I found out today it was NOT $20,000.00 but $20,000.00 worth of stock. This just keeps getting better. I posted the code for your NM license and have accumulated your posts and sent them to the right people. Never know we may finally get your's and others names in one of these. Tue, 24 Aug 1999, 11:45pm EDT Total Renal Sues Internet Users, Alleges Misleading Postings Total Renal Sues Internet Users, Alleges Misleading Postings Torrance, California, Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Total Renal Care Holdings Inc., the world's second-largest dialysis services provider, sued four anonymous Internet users, joining a growing number of companies trying to combat misinformation on the Web. Total Renal and its former chairman and chief executive, Victor M.G. Chaltiel, filed the lawsuit in a California state court in Los Angeles asking for a retraction and public apology from the defendants. The Torrance, California-based company alleges the four, known only by Internet pseudonyms, placed false and misleading information about the company on a Yahoo! Inc. message board. Total Renal joins other companies that are suing to stop the posting of misleading information on boards maintained by Yahoo and on Go2Net Inc.'s Silicon Investor Web site. Total Renal's shares have fallen 71 percent this year and in recent months the company has become a favorite for short-sellers, or investors who try to profit from a decline in a stock price. The lawsuit alleges defendants INSIDER_EYE, ALLWHIP, BAYNEPHRON13847 and MD1493 posted false or defamatory messages for the purpose of manipulating the stock. It cited examples of INSIDER_EYE writing ``I want to buy back in but I feel there is something fishy. Cooking the Books, Over billing. And to think the least of there (sic) problems is the SEC issue.' Other postings made reference to executives leaving the company and to ``expect more to follow.ïï The lawsuit also alleges the postings libeled Chaltiel, who earlier this month resigned from the company. The lawsuit seeks to uncover the identities of the defendants and obtain apologies and unspecified damages. Short sellers attempt to profit by borrowing shares from an investor who is holding the stock for the long term. The shares are then sold and theoretically bought back at a lower price to return to the long-term investor. Companies that have sued anonymous Internet users include M.H. Meyerson & Co., Xircom Inc., Carnegie International and Stone & Webster Inc. Total Renal's shares fell 3/16 to 8 1/2. Heat is on ... wonder how many other mining stock you may have conveniently libeled yourself on by making public professional opinions on compnay time that were not completely truthful where you conveniently twisted information. Who knows maybe we will get the last laugh. :-) GB
