Skip, Some of your points are well taken and are very valid from a certain perspective. However a stock forum has to be flexible enough to entertain a lot of people's perspectives and the varied reactions to those perspectives. An orchestrated forum is simply that and not much good for really feeling the pulse of a particular stock. The thoughts and apprehensions of individuals(retail) involved in stock picking are after all increasingly driving the market today. They may be making some of their choices through funds, but like it or not, John & Jane Q Public are here to stay and in numbers that are growing every day. Why? Because they can now participate in their own DD as never possible before. How? Partially in forums just like this and the rapidly growing plentitude of information on the Internet only recently made available to them. I for one also have little patience with posts that are so patently obnoxious that they serve no purpose other than to elevate the poster's ego or are oblivious to any ryme or reason. But I will read through the chaff to get to the wheat. Luckily on this thread, there is a lot more wheat than chaff. JMHO. Have enjoyed your presence and comments on the thread. Hope you return someday. Best Wishes for your New Year, Gerry

Skip... I agree, but you're preaching to the preacher. This has become a circus atmosphere, however, this thread and the bullshit that occurs here will NOT make or break this stock. If the company delivers, the stock price will follow along.. simple as that. If I thought for a minute that a goddamn internet thread would make or break a stock I was playing I would get the hell out of the market for good.So do not worry Skip... if you're DD is correct you have a very good chance of winning. In the mean time we are marking time until: 1. margin 2. warrants called. 3. more evidence of business/contracts. The chart is looking better (need more volume) and I like the way the stock is acting. Be Happy!!

Skipard, I think people are just a little edgy since this stock has remained in a narrow trading range for the past couple months. I think we are all getting tired of the consolidation phase and looking for bigger brighter days to come. I've been tracking TPRO since earlier this fall, but only purchased my first position this month. Paid now what I would have paid then. But regarding institutional support, we might as well face the fact that that won't truly come until we see next quarters earnings. They want some confidence after what happened with ZITL (sorry for the comparison, but I believe that is what some of newer Y2K issues are being compared to). Basically the company has yet to prove itself to risk the big money on. What are your thoughts? Regards, Ron

Dear Skip, I am not big time investor in fact I'm pretty small compared to some, however it was people like you who inspired me to look into Tpro as an investment. I Hope you come back soon. HAPPY NEW YEAR Patrick

Skip Hey man cool out. Take a trip with TMEX. I here what your saying. There are times when some posters ie the guy who couldn't get the share price or earnings correct, and then monopolized the thread for a couple of days with with claims of $45 a share in 98. It made me think "I bought some of this crap"... These people go away. But we do have to live with it. Just tune it out. Ultimately the input of a few simple "street people" like myself, will not have a significant effect on the stocks outcome IMHO. Skipard,I hope you will hang around it was one of your posts that originally got my attention to TPRO. If not, well hopefully I'll see you Bass Fishing for that lunker. Thanks for that one as well. Happy new year! :-} Cordially, B.Long
