Dear Raj: ALL I want is the facts, maam. Sgt. Friday! Jan has made a very significant post. It has extreme relevence if it is correct. I do NOT consider that looking into the toilet. I consider it finding out exactly what to expect. It does none of us any good to gloss over items which we find distasteful. I think it is quite likely I own far more stock than most of you, and I have not been a trader but a holder. So, at least as much as you I would like it all to be ROSY but if it isnt I want to know that too. Thats the value of the internet to me. To find the truth. As to SYNT, I am also a stockholder there and there has been plenty of moaning and groaning as stock fell. I might have sold but a fellow investor let us know the mutuals are buying. That was valuable info. at least to me. Personally, if it turns out that JAN's info is correct, I will feel that the press release was grossly misleading. That fact bothers me too. It could trigger the need for a "corrected" version which will do none of us any good. While I am complaining, I might as well say that I am also tired of CONTINUALLY amendments to "FILED" documents. Get it right the first time, this is a sign of a less than professional accounting staff. I can assure you that refiling the S-3 also has done none of us any good. It just highlights AGAIN a negative. Sorry if all this isnt as PRETTY as you would like it, but this is a business, not a game. However, despite it all MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY WE ALL HAVE A HAPPY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. JDN

Raj, let me make an argument for not suggesting that anyone hold back concerns, criticisms, or any negative information they may have to share. I know everybody says you shouldn't buy a security because of anything you read on the internet. But this thread has been different from other threads. Everything a whole lot of very smart individual investors have been able to come up with about this company, strenths and weaknesses, has been posted, and in an organized way, too. That means not only the praise, but the criticism. That is what makes this forum a model one, and credible, and valuable to me. I don't want it to be a narrative advertisement. If a desire not to "scare away newcomers" inhibits participants from posting negative developments or perspectives and turns this into a feelgood forum, we all lose. Newcomers will sense that they (we) are being "handled." Personally, I think the goose is this forum as it has already defined itself, and the golden egg is the security we gain from being able to have confidence in the research and analysis, and weigh the merits of the skepticism, we are offered by the investors who post here. If there are bad thoughts being had by any of the smart people who participate here, I want to be among the first to know why. (And I want tpro to hear about them, too.)

Raju--- Your request to keep any questions that may be negative off the thread in order not to scare new investors away scared me and I have owned TPRO before you heard of it! Your statement "its time to move up" is late,,, we would have liked to have been up, just a little long ago. As to "how many times do you want to see 5 3/4",,, how about twice a week for the next 20 years. Trading this puppy from 5 3/4 to 6 1/2 is very profitable and there is a ton of resistance at 6 3/4. When she blows through 6 3/4 can raise a point easy. Either way an extra 5K - 10K trading in that range is a little exciting and pays the way for holding a larger amount of shares. Why tie up all that money to see it stay in one place for months when it could be put to more profitable uses? Thanks, but I will keep a little to trade until the run starts... John
