Brian, Look, I am doing my best to provide as much information as possible to you and everyone else who may read this thread. But I'm a very busy guy and my time is limited. I am executive v.p. of a bustling, growing corporation many times the size of AGTI. I have a wife and three young kids, all of whom mean the world to me. I have two sweet parrots named "Houdini" and "Echo". I travel extensively for my work. I try to stay involved with my community. And in my spare time, I make an effort to stay informed about my investments. If you review my history of posts, you will note that I am far more involved in AGTI than any other thread on SI. But I have many other stocks in my portfolio, of which AGTI is NOT the largest position. I got involved in the SI thread because it appeared to me that few people were active in trying to communicate with the company to derive information, but instead were speculating about this detail or that. Sorry to ramble, but I am trying to make a point. As I recall, you were the first to post information about the Morton Downey show. If not the first, you were certainly the most persistent to request info about airing of that show. I was even feeling guilty, as I expressed to you, that I was unable to get an answer for you in a timely fashion. Then, at long last, I get the answer for you and what happens? You flame me for it and challenge the answer!! I am NOT AN EXPERT on "Invest America" or the filming of TV shows in general. I have very limited experience with such matters. My main experience with filming is in the realm of corporate promotional videos, as a company might present to a prospective client. But since you seem to be far more knowledgeable than I, why don't you pick up the telephone on Monday and call AGTI for yourself? You can ask them all the technical details you wish and post the result on SI. I only reiterated the answer I was given by Darren Little, an answer which addressed YOUR question. I do not have time to commit to every minute shred of detail, nor do I feel I should be expected to do so. I am trying to be tactful and avoid another "range war" on this thread, Brian. But your post has major negative undertones, such as speculating that AGTI may be a "crap stock", and I have never been able to understand why some shareholders (I assume you are a shareholder) would publicly condemn their own investment. My own brain fails to comprehend the logic of such posts. At the very least, your tone is completely ungrateful for my trying to answer your question. I even went so far in my netsurfing yesterday as to try to find something on the internet about "Invest America", unsuccessfully. I think AGTI has positioned themselves to become a great company in an infant industry, and the potential reward is huge. That is why I invested. But I'm getting tired of battling "naysayers", as GaBard would say. I noticed he merely stopped posting to this thread, likely for the same reasons. NO BATTLES, OK?? But do us all a favor, me especially, and dial 1-604-689-8841 on Monday. Ask for Darren Little, read the posts to him, and challenge him with your questions. Hardrocker
