On MSNBC last week, a couple people said ECN's may become absolete. Any comment on that? Mike

WRONG! ECN's are not "in themselves exchanges", though they have the capacity to be if they license themselves properly. So far, none of them is registered as an exchange, though some have indicated a desire to do so down the road. They are electronic limit order books -- most trades placed in them do not get matched and executed in the ECN, and end up in the NASDAQ order flow system anyway. And all of them, by law, must reference and conform to "the best available market" before they can execute a trade -- meaning that if they match a buyer and a seller at $50 per share, but the best bid and asked over the NASDAQ at that moment is 49 3/4 to 49 13/16, the ECN cannot execute - it would be illegal. The fact that you do not know this and that you allow yourself to make such statements (ECN's are in themselves exchanges - just flat out false) proves the point that you are clueless when it comes to the emerging landscape of the securities trading markets and Ashton, and discredits the rest of your post (as if it needed discrediting -- more 144's - run for the hills!!!!!!!!)

Eloquent response there A(hole)! Man, you really told MST! He responds with paragraph after paragraph, and the best you can do is.... that? Sort of reminds me of my 5th grader. Pin her down with facts and the best she can come up with is.... "So ?". It seems odd that MST and others (excluding myself) post lengthy informative posts about their perception of this company, its direction, and its possibilities, and the best you can come up with is pasting a NO RELATION 144 along with "see I told you the sky is falling", Lil GTO, or some other worn out line. Grow up will ya? We know you dislike the company for whatever reason. Most even know there's risk involved in owning it. Your lame, inarticulate retorts are at best boring. We've had several positive news releases over the last week or so. Why no attempt to dissect them? Best you can do is a 144? It's still beyond me that a no relation 144 is a big deal to you. You have every right to argue with anyone on this or any other board, won't you at least graduate to something other than "SO". How about "some meat" Hot Dog? C'mon boy!! MST is kicking your ass all over the board! Also, I asked you a question a while back, and as I expected, you're apparently to much of a twat to answer. I am still curious though.... at what price do you cease to exist?
