Hi Marty How nice to hear from you and as always it was a refreshing and intelligent post. I certainly agree wholeheartly with what you had to say and also understand the reasons for your lack of recent postings. While our investments are indeed a important part of our lives, they come no where close in importance as our family. Steven J Lafferty Still long and holding

Marty, slaffe, FREAKAZOID! Why it's nostalgia day on the thread! Marty, thanks for your post-you may have just doubled the maturity index on the thread. I agree with you that we are taking too close a view of this company. It is like we are trying to read the newspaper with a magnifying glass. We may be able to identify a few letters, but we are not getting the gist of the entire story. May I elaborate on a point that Marty made? Many of us intended for this stock to have popped a long time ago. It kind of "popped" in the wrong direction. There is still reason for optimism. If TSIG really becomes a profitable Internet stock in the 4th quarter, who knows what the stock will do. Regardless of the scenario that plays out, TSIG faces selling all the way up. There are the people who bought at $.05 and who will sell at $.10. There are the "longs" who bought at $.35, averaged down to $.25, and having had the investment scare of their lives, will sell with great relief at $.25. Then there are the daytraders-'nuff said about that. TSIG will be attracting a whole new set of shareholders as the stock goes up. There will be people who think they are getting the value of a lifetime when they buy at $.50. My point? Much of the selling you see over the next several months may have nothing to do with the fundamental prospects of the company. It will simply reflect people's very, very short-term goals. Much has been said about the "failure" of the Babe Ruth deal. In previous posts I have enumerated all the factors that were working against the success of that deal. Babe Ruth in 2000 will be different IMO. The company has learned from this year's mistakes, plus they have learned from their association with Lifetime Learning. Similarly, next year with the first year already under their belt, Lifetime Learning could be another story entirely. My school district has about 40 schools; perhaps 25 schools are middle and high schools which may be appropriate for the MusicCard fund-raiser. Would it be wise for the county school office to put an untested fund-raiser in all 25 schools? Probably not. But after the success in one school, or hearing about the success in other schools, it would be a logical step to place this fund-raiser in 12-15 of the county schools. These are two particular examples of what Marty means when he says "Rome was not built in a day." We have pretty much DD'd to death the MusicCard in the schools. We have not spent as much time on the PhotoCard. We hardly have a clue about Eoc.net. We have a wait-and-see attitude about TEMPO. I believe it is highly possible that there are revenue sources ahead for TSIG that we have not even thought of. But if we spend our time giving REW the 3rd degree because some mailing may or may not have gone out the day he reported it would, we are going to miss the big story here. We must not lose perspective. Marty said, "All good things take time and for a startup company that can be years. The rewards, if successful however, can be enormous." Each individual has the right to sell out when he chooses to. Far be it for me to tell anybody how to manage his investments. However, for those people who are living for "next week," keep your whining to yourself. Good luck to all investors. May TSIG exceed your every expectation. Regards, Suzanne

Marty, good to know that you are still lurking. I agree that the value of the thread for DD has been lost to some extent (with a few shining lights...keep it up Suzanne). I am still long on TSIG but pay less attention to the thread and all the other agendas thereon. The key to TSIG, as I have maintained all along, is in the fundamentals. When, and if, the various deals start generating some serious revenues, we should see some real growth. Come by the thread every once in a while. Sorry I missed you in Maui. kekoa

Thanks for the response Marty. We share the same thoughts. I'm sure you have noticed the continued negativity on the other board brought by the few. Just a standard statement brings them swarming. Those will not allow any diligence to be brought for the others to ponder. I've made a deal with a couple of friends, by my request, to be physically beaten if I ever make another statement over there. Shortly this board should begin to return to the sane discussionary process we once saw but, as you intimated, it will never become the forum of openness it once was. There are just too many flies. Notice the response to placing just an example of how the Card product could be utilized. I declined and noone else would hazzard the task either. The transferance of information and ideas has been stiffled to the point that any recovery will stop far short of where it once was. Enjoy your family. Bob

Marty, I just returned home from a training weekend for FlashNet (FLAS) distributors. FLAS went public six months ago. Today some of the original PP holders have been selling off shares. These people invested in FLAS before it was public at a share price of .50 and under. FLAS has dropped in price during the past month and it is holding at this low price in part due to the selling off of shares by people who invested in FlashNet five years ago. They are now receiving their profit. During the meeting, the CEO talked and indicated that there are good things coming (deals they are working on). One is a new proprietary product that will be very successful, but he would not tell us distributors what that was. Now if we posted that we went to a TSIG meeting and the CEO stated that there are deals being worked on but he can not give details at this time, we would be blasted by the bashers for writing about this. I keep thinking about these investors who invested into FlashNet at .50 cents p/share or less five years ago who are just now reaping the fruit of their investment. I think we just need to hang in here and let the company work the program to grow the business. I just hope they learn from their mistakes. Hanging in here, Jeff
