Hank, ZIXI gets kicked in the ass whenever the PR machine comes to a halt. Maybe everyone is cleaning up trading the up and down slopes. Once the stock is back in the 40's they can put out a new one and start the cycle all over again.

Sure Hank...

As I recall I was sending you a PM about publicly posted comments you made about that nutcase anthony@pacific.

My point in your not responding back to me, was that the comment I made in the PM I sent you in this regard was to keep this ongoing debate about PM's here between the short shills out of an innocent comment I was making to you in good humor on a Friday afternoon. I was not trying to get you to respond to me by PM, as this would then prohibit any further claims that you had not sent a PM to me.

What possible difference could it have made to me, that a short on this board was busting on one of his own about prison sentences? I guess I don't understand the paranoia which seems to have gripped you. In the future I will go ahead and disparage these nuts you guys have recruited also, rather than letting you have all of the fun.

I do not believe that I have ever said that traders could not make money in this stock. It is not my predisposition to short this or any other stock, or to trade short term on the long side. I was looking for a potential best of breed encryption company about a year ago, and am quite confident that I have found it in ZIXI. Trading may be the key for you, but as I watch the years pass by, only a fortunate few can boast that they were better off for it.

I have an abundance of confidence in this technology. You, like many shorts act as though you truly understand what is at stake with security on the Internet and find ZIXI's solution to be less than compelling. If you do not understand the differences between ZIXI and some others in this space, then it is apparent that you are either lazy, misinformed or lying yourself in a continued attempt to mislead, misrepresent, and misguide lurkers as you look for a way out of this position. I on the other hand find the technology and underlying infrastructure to be specifically what will answer the long term needs of both the business and consumer markets. I have the comfort of my convictions, and the shorts have to lay awake every night wondering if TODAY is the day Cook will bring out significant news that will cause the much anticipated (by the long traders anyway) short squeeze.

Sorry to have confused you with this attempt at civility on a Friday afternoon. I was attempting a new strategy for a few days, where I did not take shots at you guys for reasons other than my own humor. I guess it is preferable to everyone here that I return to the tommie boy style of posting. I will try and not let it happen again.

The technology is the key...if you understand it.

Enjoy the ride!!

Hank, I guess I will post my original PM to you as well...

I'll change the letters to a couple of the words so I do not offend anyone's sensibilities this morning, but I think they will get the tone.

Hank,

Don't respond to this either privately (as if, LMAO) or publicly...but I have to tell you.

I am laughing my mother f###ing a$$ off at your last post!!!!!!!

Pardon the language, but I have tears in my eyes I'm laughing so hard.

Good luck to you. You guys have hit a home run the past few days. We just have different investment styles is all there is to say I suspect.

Rick


I can see where this PM I sent you would have been construed as a plot of some sort. Please!

The technology is the key...if you understand it.

Enjoy the ride!!
