Thanks for the nice message. you give a nice overview of the companies and what part of the business they are doing. You also have a nice balanced view, optimistic but not hype. I think if more people put out these kinds of messages we would all be better off. If they are good companies they will be around, no use in jumping on the bandwagon. The only play i made was with VOCLF. I still think this company will be a major force in this arena. I think we will see big contracts in the future which will allow this company to really grow quickly. The others I'm still researching and have yet to feel really confident about holding. Ron

Atin, Unfortunately, you were the victim of bad timing, in regards to the FTEL board. There were a series of ridiculous attacks that were just stopping, when you started posting there. At that time, the price was not stable and that always seems to draw that rats!:-) I believe that you see a number of post here from FTEL regulars because we respect your knowledge about the industy and the technology that too many of people in many of the IT stocks(myself included) do not fully understand on a nuts and bolts level and that you posted many times there and showed yourself to be person worth listening to. I hope your experience on FTEL will not sour you on the stock, but it is completely understandable, if that happenened, because of the strong response you received. I read this board for a few reasons: to increase my knowledge of FTEL competitors, to find potential investments in IT, and to increase my knowledge of the underlying technology. The wider the discussion ranges the better, for it will benefit all. Keep up the great work, Evan
