Susie, okay, so we are not nominating Bob for the Nobel Prize in Literature! I agree with you that in a perfect world, every stockholder would know exactly what every other stockholder knows--no more and no less! I think we would also agree that this is not a perfect world. So what do we do? Do we forbid stockholders from visiting company headquarters? Do we put low-level employees in permanent isolation? Do we forbid any contact between stockholders and the company's partners, allies, etc? Obviously, no. Does Bob know the bank? I don't know. I do believe that because Bob has done so much DD that he knows 4 or 5 times as much about this company as the rest of us know. He spends a lot of time working on this and talks to a wide variety of people. Because he knows so much, he and I can ask Paul Henry the very same question. I find out nothing, and Bob learns something. And it has nothing to do with Paul favoring Bob over me............Because of stock message threads, investing is moving into a new era. The rules are being written as we go. When I compare how much I know about TSIG and compare how much I knew about my pre-message board investments, I personally feel I am much, much better off now. Without the help of people on these threads, it is highly, highly unlikely that I would have been able to hold my shares through all the tribulations we've seen. IMO, Bob has been very generous in sharing his information. Also, Bob rarely wastes great gobs of time getting mixed up in personal conflicts. He's probably on the phone right now trying to figure out the last PR. Regards, Suzanne
