I figured that whatever Richard placed onto this thread's intro would pass a "test of time" and i just looked at it, and it does and needs not any edit of the 1996 intro :o) The stock quote we all can see does not work on this Si page and i tried to do a search for MAXAM as name and got error. . Enter name of security Error fetching entries from database: Timeout of 20000ms exceeded (20 seconds) . Maybe if Si did not spend the first 18 seconds putting up those advertisments, the request would have been done, but then if Si made it easier to obtain share values so that they could be displayed from the Pink Sheets, it would help. . I went to the Maxam web site Richard provides in the info and my old browser could not activate any click-able button except the first one, not the Investor Info one that might display a current quote. Its just my opinion, but the company web site for Maxam should upfront display investor data like last share quote and a link to the latest available company "health" like debt and number of common shares out. Stuff like hidden problems and dirt test results and "in the pipe-line" stuff is up to each investor in a highly speculative play as Maxam is. Its of topic, but i am always amazed by folks like marcos and Chatters and a few others we all know of, that tell me of the absolute proof that a desert dirt play is a scam because the past failures seem to them to entend into the future. I just ignore that type of talk from those that cannot seperate a desire to be proven correct in their past opinions like telling us its a scam, and use as proof a look into the future and seeing yesterday :o) doug
