Thought long and hard last night trying to break down the events of the day.. 2 phone calls to Mill. yesterday turned the roon upside down. One which was mine and the other Erwin (something). I was surprised at the mad rush to prove somebody wrong - the callers or Mill.

Let me explain how I took Sharons statements. One catorgory on my list of Fact/Assumptions/ETC is "slip of the tongue info" When I made the call, I immediatly could hear the excitement in the background. I think many there were just caught up in that excitement(what ever it was about). I know what was said to me (and it was stated that way 3 differant times).. Knowing that they are a PR firm, and I think they are a very good one, I would not
put her info anywhere except on the side of my list I stated above.. with a + sign. It got the plus sign because Gary came in so quickly to do some damage control.

I have meet Gary several times and have a very good impression of him.. As a former CEO I can appreciate what he must be going thru to try to keep up with these ROOKIES. I think things were magnified yesterday due to the anticipation (or praying) that their would be a release of some kind.

As I read the board this morning it reminded me of the time frame prior to the PA release. It is so predictable how the post will be during a dry spell... If your faith in this stock is shaken so badly from the events of yesterday, then maybe you should not be in it..

Thanks for the time......Marty
