Holy $^%@#! Why can't you all just DROP IT! If someone bothers you - IGNORE THEM! You know - I often thought that there was an intelligent group of investors connected to Topro. Well, I was wrong. It makes me glad that I am just some humble engineer who knows how to behave like an adult. My wife teaches 7th graders. They would be embarrased by the childish behavior of this thread. I don't know - I have been up all night writing a business plan to seek out VC for a broadcast 3D design business that I am trying to start up. After viewing this thread for the past week I am beginning to worry that the investment community is to immature to read a biz plan without throwing in some slander and pointless remarks... Please rise above it and post some intelligent messages. I need to have my faith restored. IMHO, John Hanzl

To the thread in general re: disruptions. There exists something called the Passive-Dependent personality type. This type needs feedback from other people so badly that they will even seek negative feedback to fulfill that need. They often provoke negative feedback but in such a way that they will continue to see themselves as being Passive, but still the center of attention. If you pay attention to this provocative behavior, even with punishment, you reenforce it and the behavior increases. If you ignore the provocative behavior it will be diminished or extinguished. When you see a thread start to center around a single person, you are probably seeing such a transaction occuring. Remember, the only way to extinguish this behavior is to ignore it. If you want to play tennis, you've got to be smarter than the ball. B.F. Skinner Now, I won't address this subject again, and I hope that others will join me in ignoring it. Zebra

Count G, If you follow the ATPX thread, you know that people were asking weach other what their brokers were telling them. I posted what Schwab told me-nothing more. If that causes a panic, I'm sorry, I have no intention or desire to destroy the TPRO thread. Why would Iwant that when I am long the stock. I am sorry TN left the thread if you all found him usefull but that's his choice. I would hope that other individuals that have usefull information to contrubute will not follow his lead. As I told you earlier, I can't prove that I received 20 e-mails from people that agreed with me because to post their privcater e-mails, as TM did mine, would be a violation of their trust. If they want ot come forward, it is up to them. NOW CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO BUSINESS?
