Q39: I am in total accord with your comments from the original post. I also applaud the diligence and time you spent in your comments. I agree with all that you say - my point is the current bad reputation of 2S ICE's is due to the fact that the progress in the technology for 2S ICE's has not received the necessary publicity to educate the public as to its advantages. The recent Honda reversal of their thinking on 2S is a case in point. All these items back up my position that the Orbital Corp has done a lousy job in getting their name and their technology in front of the public at large. This includes most of the regulatory bodies in most countries. I would refer you to some posts over on the Yahoo thread - they are the following numbers # 5701, 5702, 5703. These posts go to the heart of the problems with OE and their lack of PR. I do however feel that the current climate is favorable towards OE - does this mean that there will be progress - I do not know - I will wait to see some signs from the corporation that they have shareholder value as a priority and profits as a basic goal. John P.S. Hi Ralph!

Unwarranted selling. Siemens only wishes to sell their portion of Synerject that isn't automotive. They maintain their commitment to automotive business. Apparently this was caused by their relationship with VDO. This has no reflection on the future of OE. As far as Bombardier buying Johnson/Evinrude, this isn't formal yet, and it doesn't mean anything negative for OE either. Whoever buys OMC is obligated to honor the patent settlement between OE and OMC. It's anyone's speculation at this point what will happen to Ficht. Remember, the settlement also included some sort of provision that effectively ruled out the use of Ficht on "motorcycles", and I presume that to include scooters too. Yahoo is now the land of the short. For every stock. You don't have to follow the "club" site, but ANY stock site is better than Yahoo. Between the spam and shysters, all of Yahoo's threads are useless. I've seen sites where the conversation is nothing but a company bashing session by disgruntled employees and former employees. Don't waste your time at any stock discussion site where half the posts have nothing to do with the stock in question. Life is too short. The teaser message titles always give away the spammers, but the impersonators are the best. Especially when they alter the identification of the author and then "sign" the message with another, as was the case with me recently on Yahoo. Anyone who sells on such a goofy post would never have a big enough position to matter.
