That was far more than I expected Gary, and much appreciated. I have pasted it to the AOL board. Although I must insist, that in MY opinion, your analyses and efforts to keep us all informed have quite outpaced my own contributions. I can only hope to catch up! Thanks again. Style Pts.

Gary: I am happy to see you working to help preserve a basic tenant for which many of us spent hours every week surfing SI: one source of information and equally important the business analysis by knowldgable poeple in an open environment. The beauty of SI is that because people expressing opinions don't face the same issues brokerage analysts face, the opinions could be muh moret less biased and people can question them with an in your face attitude. Unlike AOL threads where posts are controlled too much, SI is about discussing both sides. For that reason I have stopped looking through AOL's boards. If somebody really think that Tim's earlier bearish posts caused ASND to go down or few positive posts by some other contributors will drive ASND back to 80s, then boy they are missing the boat. I would advise that these people should invest in mutual funds using professional financial advisers. With a volatility like the one we saw last few weeks, it is easy to loose cool and feel aggrevated if somebody puts on what may be perceived as a negative posts. It is important to remember that our posts do not move the market and this is surely not a place to show how smart each of us are. Our account balances should prove that to us anyway. Take it easy while taking advantage of the fire sell going on. Mass hysteria is a strange thing. If anyone of you saw THE CRUCIBLE, you should know people sometime loose their life defending truth. We are just talking of few thousand dollars. satish kamat

Gary, What a glowing letter of recommendation for St. pts. I may have to hire you to make letters like that for me. What do you think or thoughts you have gathered on the insider trading? I read the one news post that discussed this issure, and suggested a merger/buyout is now out of question in regards to happening anytime soon. Its getting really hard for me to accept a lower price, $26? This has to be attractive! It looks like CYMI is in the same boat,$23. I'm buying more options in both for January25 Jeff
