ok, you can take a rest, coach.... look, you know as well as the rest of those on the thread should by now, this quiet period has a gag on Noam and the rest of the majority owned divisions. period. the end. i'm sure there will be plenty of mention of LMNE, as soon as the red herring is out and the roadshow begins. until then... patience is a virtue. we'll get plenty of coverage, as did today's ipo, leading up to, and on the day of, the ipo. after the first ipo is out of the way, we'll begin to hear more about OA. and so on, and so on. iTouch will likely be relatively quiet until their ipo. coverage will come with the ipo's. not before. all of the calls in the world won't change that.... one of the reasons, imo, MRVC didn't move as much today as others, was this was more of a technical rally. retail brokers weren't out there selling this stock for a bounce b/c their house doesn't cover it. guess what? if a large house doesn't cover it, most brokers aren't allowed to sell it. that's just the fact right now, and Noam can't help the timing. CDFB is in the driver's seat and MRV's attorneys are instructing management to keep their mouths shut. period.

Coach, All great ideas but...months ago, before the quiet period, I e-mailed Diana and Noam asking them to please try and get on powerlunch. I went on and on about how powerlunch gives people more than a few seconds to tell their story, etc. Not a word was heard. Greg has stated the reasons we would have less than a snow ball in hell's chance to bring this about NOW! After the quiet period, why not? Can you imagine having Noam, along with Dr. Spivey, Vinod Khosla, partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, Dr. David Medved from Jolt and maybe Dr. Eric Korevaar, president of AstroTerra to help with details of LNME, OA and maybe Zaffire? Would be impressive...never happen though...too bad. New web site changes...cool!
