See your private SI email. I won't even contemplate fueling the mess over at Yahoo. Thank goodness for the club. Unfortunately, the relatively rapid rise of OE from $2 to $8 has attracted all sorts of people with suspect motives. We'll probably have to get used to it. Either you have an interest in this stock going up or an interest in it going down. Anyone who posts who isn't in one of those two groups is even worse than the latter. Fortunately, you only need to identify the former, and read those posts. I should have mentioned that anyone who takes the time to inspect one of the OCP Bombardier boats should also look at the air pump. It's tiny. The need for the air pump often is the focus of criticism of OCP, particularly by OMC, the claim being the extra component adds complexity (implying a reliability issue). But once you see how small this pump is, you realize it isn't an issue. I find it ironic that OMC would attempt this scam, as anyone who's seen an exploded view of the Ficht injector (and read about the critical machining to manufacture it) soon realizes it's Ficht that has the reliability problem. I'll take that tiny air pump any day to avoid the nightmare of the Ficht injector. That nightmare has brought OMC to it's knees.

September issue of Popular Science Four Page Spread on auto air pollution. Direct injection was mentioned, as well as Siemens and a paragraph on SAAB...not ONE word on Orbital !! This stock is listed on four major exchanges including the NYSE. OE does a great job of hiding their light under a bushell. I Realize that Popular Science is not rated number one by automotive "techies" but a lot of auto buyers read it. Many potential buyers of the stock read it....methinks that OE Public Relations is still in the stone age.
