What is it that you TRULY believe???? You keep mentioning how dishonest DCTC management is and then you wait for a "courteous acknowledgement". Take a breath Ernie, >;-] I'm neither expecting nor waiting for ANYTHING from DCI. I'm just commenting for the next time is all amigo. As far as making a "move" how much money would you suggest paying a non contingent attorney on retainer to try and prove the auditors are culpable, try to tap their E&O and then move on to DCTC management? Seriously, how much will you be willing to spend to get back part of your losses? Even if it got that far, DCI has already voted to pay for any legal defense out of shareholder money. That was an offensive play Ernie. It was a clear warning what they expected. Even if it was a weasel move-it was very savvy. They're way ahead of us, financially covered... and we're not. Unless a MAJOR shareholder with money and conviction steps forward to pay collective legal fees what can most shareholders do? Accessorize perhaps? I'd say that pole the average shareholder is wearing will only be complimented by attaching a flag to the small area that is still protruding. We've been taken for an expensive ride here Ernie by a group of people that knew what was coming and took advantage of our trust. They KNOW the average shareholder will just have to lump it and try to recover. They KNOW the majority will never have the tenacity to pursue this to any degree. They KNOW time (in such matters as these) diminishes energy in human nature Ernie. The KNOW "just moving on" will be the ambient feeling here. If not, they would have been more accountable along the entire journey. I'm not trying to discourage anyone intent on pursuing a legal avenue against DCI or the auditors, but the feasible, financial practicality for the average shareholder simply isn't there. Maybe the SEC will reach some agreement-maybe not. In practicality, DCI wins-we lose. I don't like what has happened but that's life. When first put in a cage, a canary will thrash around violently until it realizes its fate, finds resolve and sings. Unfortunately the only profit I see for the majority of shareholders is in the valued lesson of that song. Onward, George
