Short sellers will have a field day following any communications of company officers via message boards. Kevin, Would you elaborate on this for those of us less familiar with the short side of the markets and how something like this would work? JB came onto the MSGI board and the stock had one of its better days recently. As MSGI has been in a press and information vacuum from this investors perspective, it felt like a good thing to have the CEO make some attempt at communicating with shareholders. TIA, Leslie

Kevin...Thanks for your thoughts... Communication in a respectful and responsible fashion is a good thing...period. The rules are still being written here, and I think it's probably a very good assumption that it's way to early to judge. One of the best things about investing for me personally is that if I disagree with the company's philosophies or strategies, or if the business fundamentals change, I can sell my stock. I really don't care if a short term loss is realized, though that's not what I am looking for, there are far to many good long term opportunities out there to replace it. 100% of the shots not taken never go in, and I doubt a guy like David Wetherill, or Jeremy Barbera for that matter, lose too much sleep worrying what the "short seller" is going to do tomorrow. Best Regards, John Madarasz
