Izzy:

I totally agree with your sentiments. I don't post often but I do if a) I have something worthwhile to share or b) when things appear to be heating up and a little levity seems in order. Too many people seem to get WAY too defensive (usually when the share price is on the decline) I tend to temper my euphoria on good days and avoid becoming "postal" on bad days.

Folks on this thread seem to appreciate the attempts at humor. My attempts on other threads have been called "unmitigated garbage" and "drival". Investing is a serious business, but like all other serious endeavors, one needs to lighten up a bit on occasion.

I'm still long on the stock and got slaughtered in the options but that's life in the Wall Street casino.

Good luck and keep posting.

Tom

<It's been my experience that it's not healthy to list your e mail address since one might receive notes that are not very friendly (actually rather hostile) depending on what one posts on the threads.>

I do not remember my e-mail ever being available, I might have e-mailed someone else on the thread once. I received several, hostile e-mail regarding my interest in this company. Three were rather graphic threats, one of which intimated that my continued interest in this company was not "healthy" physically or financially for my wife and baby (the writer must have read every one of my posts which I stated that I had a baby). things are being taken care of. The funny thing is, if this stocks volatility has not scared me away, what makes someone think that threats would?

I have some info regarding this "ASH" related notes from this weelk on AG3340 and 2034, that I will get around to posting.

The E-mail was a cute joke. I am pretty new to the Net. And I will follow your advice (and John's). And remove my E-mail. It is obviously not very friendly out here.

Thanks,

JLL
