Milk, Answer for the last question: Yes- the change will happen automatically in your brokerage account. No cost,no paper work or anything on your part.( I had a glitch once when I tried to trade a stock with the new symbol on the day of a name change as the system did not recognize the new symbol right away.) New Questions: Since you claim in your press releases to be a reporting company with the sec, when will you file something relating to the merger?( You have'nt filed anything since August.) Also, who are the principals in WOTD or how soon will they be named. The associoation with WOTD is out of the bag, so to speak, so how come we don't know anything about the prin- ciples of that organization? If Jack Arnold is going to IR, someone from WOTD must be stepping up as CEO,someone else as CFO,etc. I see no material reason to keep the names of these future (or present?) officers of the company a secret. Are they working now? Thanks,p.b.

* ALL: The CVIA Clearinghouse * Just received the following question from a non-member: From: <jmyers@neo.lrun.com> To: <milk000@hotmail.com> Milk, I have a question: Lets say that brokers/MM's/etc. short CVIA on the news of the REG S. (why they would I don't know, what could they stand to make from a .02 stock?..) but...If they change the name and symbol, do the MM's have to cover their short? Does a name/symbol change force a MM/etc. to cover the short?.. Any comments? Here is a related paragraph regarding short selling of Reg S securities: "The drop in price is generally the result of short selling. Taking short positions in the public float to offset a Regulation 'S' transaction is illegal under US securities laws. However, by definition, Regulation 'S' buyers are outside the US and many are unconcerned with the enforceability of US laws. As such, if the discount is sufficient, they can lock in a profit by shorting the stock and delivering against the short position after 40 days. As long as the short position is sufficiently greater than the purchase price and carrying costs, then the buyer is still richly rewarded and the stock drops considerably in the face of the extra selling pressure due to the short."
