re David Kunkel It was a combination of three things, IMO....one, the volume of posts on this thread completely dried up over the course of several months, and the Yahoo thread became a reasonable community of posters; two, the Yahoo thread disintegrated, and got to the point where so called "rational" investors were blaming and otherwise name-calling Mr. Kunkel; and three, the changes in the disclosure/notification rules prompted a unilateral decision by the company to suspend all such correspondences. It is a real same, IMO, because I really felt like the company was using 'its' technology to get the message out. There was seldom, if ever a "material" statement made by Mr. Kunkel, but have his voice to spurn FUD and misinformation was very reassuring. I am sorry it had to end.

Amoezzi, It would be presumptuous for me to speak in behalf of David as to why he posts here less than he used to. But I think it would be safe to say that most of what Lupaka said in response to this question has something to do with it. He has spent a lot of time here and on Yahoo trying to improve the communication between "the company" and "the shareholder." He has done something,in my opinion, that has never been done before. He has accomplished something that has affected a great many people. It's been disheartening to see these vehicles of communication abused and unappreciated. Very sad and wasteful. regards, cg
