Hi Suzanne (and all), <So, are you implying, Bob, that taking the time to call the company, ask the questions, and post the results is simply not worth the hassle and abuse one gets?> No... he's not "implying". Bob is stating a fact! I know your post was with tongue in cheek and I personally thank you... for understanding and also for your contributions. TSIG has made mistakes and will continue to do so, but very few startup companies are, at least in my opinion, any different. The variable here is that 1) TSIG is a public company and, unlike a private company, is open to constant scrutiny and 2) the "wonders" of the internet and these threads have become a fertile ground for lowlife players to "work" their trade. My "bet" is still on the ultimate success of TSIG. I could be completely wrong, but only time will tell. A long time ago I posted that TSIG was a longterm (call it a lifetime investment) for me with part of my "speculative" funds. IMO, all BB stocks are highly speculative and nobody should ever invest more than they can afford to lose. Every investor should always do their own DD and not depend on others... whether it be pro or con. I still like the "gameplan", but, yes, of course I am concerned about the company's ability to execute and fulfill their potential which, again IMO, I believe they will do... but not without many bumps along the road. Rob Gordon has the opportunity to become an extremely wealthy man by just making TSIG the success it should and could be. Perhaps carefully listening to some of the suggestions made by a number of the posters on this thread would not be a bad idea. Unfortunately these threads (especially RB) have turned into personal bashing pulpits for those with nothing better to do all day. TSIG used to have one of the best threads around with people trying to help others do their DD by sharing as they did their own. Look what it has turned into. Let the bashers have at it, but I object to their personal attacks on those who are trying to help share their DD. I am sure these bashers and the pro-TSIG shareholders are well aware that those who take the time to visit and/or call the company and management are only sharing what they are told. Certainly many things have not worked out as anticipated or in the time frames we would all have liked, but perhaps we are all looking too closely at the day to day happenings. Rome wasn't built in a day... and, IMHO, neither will TSIG or any other startup. All good things take time and for a startup company that can be years. The rewards, if successful however, can be enormous. Again... time will tell. And for those who may care... I still believe I am right and I am still holding tight. I have never sold or traded one share of TSIG and have no intention of doing so. But, that is my decision and each person will have to make their own determination as to what is right for them after doing and verifying their own DD. Now back to my family! Best always, Marty
