Thanks Tekboy, though I just started here on the G&K thread, I certainly would not stay with this sort of event going on. RE: GSTRF

I do want to say, the post made earlier by [ignore] re GSTRF is inaccurate. I posted earlier that HDR is not available on GSTRF, and to my knowledge, speaking with Investor Relations several months back, this first generation of satellites will not support High Data Rate.
If someone else has different info, I would appreciate a response. I have followed this stock for about one year.

The system is primarily earth bound unless no local signal is available, then it roams to the sat system.

I left the stock at 28 because I got concerned about the multiple misses on execution....I am still concerned about that. The system will make money, but until adequate subscribers begin using minutes, the income will be rather thin......and a loser until a break even point is reached, and here again, conflicting numbers cause me concern over the available information. I believe in GSTRF, but I am not currently invested in it.

To all who would like to know more about GSTRF, I strongly encourage a visit to the GSTRF thread, where quite knowledgeable and serious investors have been holding the fort for quite a while.....no flames there, from my experience. Need to keep a thread tidy or good posters will leave, we all know this.

Thanks for the reminder tekboy. Excellent. I have about 70 posts to go to catchup on G/K this morning. Here's to hoping that a flaming war has not dominated.

As for me, I have made my one and only response to offensive behavior and shall now use the tools provided by SI and BrowseMaster.

AHEM!!!! (tm)

How did you get the trademark on "AHEM!!!!"? Does it cover any number of exclamations points? What about lowercase? What are the barriers to entry? With no value chain or proprietary technology, I have to conclude it is a royalty play.
