Tom, I hope the following response on RB gives you my "thoughts". ragingbull.com Best always, Marty ----------------------------------------------------------- Jim, Let's start off by saying I don't believe you to be a "basher", but I think you are getting frustrated... and no more so than most of us. Don't misunderstand me. I still feel the same about TSIG and its future and its potential, but that, of course, is only my opinion. Management has made blunders and errors in judgement, but name me someone who hasn't or a startup company that hasn't. With the upcoming funding and the new proven management team and what I speculate will be a strong relationship with the new investment bank/advisor (I can't conceive of someone putting up $40,000,000 without having a "strong say" in management), I fervently believe... although this is only my opinion... that TSIG will succeed. Regarding your comment to me... "Since you have a bit more insight into TSIG...", I don't know if I have more insight or just a bigger telephone bill. I don't hesitate to call the Company if I have a question or a concern... and I don't hesitate to post their responses either. Your comment regarding the SEC restriction in the latest PR is a fact. I know because I called Rob Gordon and insisted on knowing the regulation # or rule #. He gave it to me and I verified it (see ragingbull.com ). In addition, he advised me that both TSIG and the investment bank were upset that a great two (2) page PR that had already been written and approved by both parties was taken down by both TSIG's and the investment bank's attorney's to what we all saw released in order to comply with the above referred to SEC regulation. I do have one suggestion, Jim. Have you tried calling Rob Gordon directly and speaking with him? You may not get through the first time, but set up a time when he can take your call and express your feelings to him as honestly as you have to me and the thread. I believe you may just come away from that phone conversation with a different perspective, but certainly we all would be interested in what you have to say. Jim, I've tried to do my best at sharing my DD with the thread members. In contrast to the defamatory accusations of one poster (an admitted trader who openly brags about it and who, IMO, uses this thread as a sounding board for his own manipulative trading activities) I have never once lied and a review of any of my posts will show that to be a fact. Enthusiastic... absolutely... and I still am, but, I have only shared my DD and reported what was told to me by management or I have given my own personal opinions and stated them as such. If you recall the long treatise I posted after my trip to the Company last year was strictly answers to questions put forth by shareholders and answered by management, etc... with some of my own feelings and opinions added and noted as such. And then his repetitive remark saying that I claimed he never flew on the Coke jet. I never said it... and frankly I couldn't care less ( ragingbull.com ). Sorry, Jim, that so many people apparently buy into his personal vendetta against me, but I won't allow myself to be drawn into a personal battle with him or Batman (who, IMO, I believe may be his alter ego alias since his only two posts on this thread seem to have suddenly disappeared... one an attack on me with the same B.S. and the other a comment about history repeating itself... sound familiar). I have no intentions of wasting my time any longer with people who refuse to pick up telephones and call the company with their questions and/or never add to anyone's DD on the thread. If people consider being enthusiastic about an investment and sharing my opinions along with my DD to be "hype" then that is truly their problem. It surely isn't mine and I have no intentions of letting it become mine. I thought we were here to discuss our investment, but obviously I was wrong. These threads have turned into personal bashing forums and platforms for stock manipulators. Sorry, but I want no part of it and my family is thrilled. And, BTW, my shares are still not for sale and will not be sold and I will vote to support management and my investment. Please try making the call and if you have a problem send me an e-mail (it's in my profile) and I'll see if I can help, but no guarantees. Best always, Marty ------------------------------------------------------------

When you really want to be heard, say it on SI, huh Tom? <g> So let me see if I got this right. Chuck and Jim want Gordon to sit down and write them a letter. Gordon is flying around the country like a mad man, negotiating deals, arranging financing, doing the work of three people--but he should stop doing those unimportant functions and sit down to write Chuck and Jim a letter. Jim doesn't think Gordon has the shareholders in mind. Man, what else can he do? He works 16 hours a day at times, on weekends and holidays, and the news is coming out steadily. He communicated to the stockholders (and potential stockholders) via the otc/internet interview. There is an IR man at the company fielding questions. A stockholders meeting is scheduled. But this is not enough. Chuck and Jim want a newsletter. This is handholding, people! This is a luxury this company which is operating on a skeleton staff can ill afford. Don't write me a newsletter. Don't spend time updating the web site telling me what time everybody went to the bathroom this afternoon. Rather spend time getting this stock out this OTC hell-hole! Spend your time arranging the financing, the new deals, the new products! I don't need investment handholding, and those who do, sell today...........<<this announcement couldn't have come at a worse time. The stock was spring loaded for a big announcement that would have taken it past a dollar and a half.>> That statement is typical of the long-term view OTC:BB investors take of every issue. Chuck and Jim wanted their pop so they could sell and move on to the many other "top-drawer" BB stocks. Which is more important: arrange financing for the company and qualify for the NASDAQ or give the short-term thinkers their pop? I have been critical of Robert Gordon at times but you guys make him look brilliant, profound, and visionary. Regards, Suzanne
