Maybe it's because Brad has taken the time to establish a relationship with Ira they way Cheryl has and doesn't approach him like he's lying to us? I've talked to some people already out there who say some of the investors who call them are miserable to talk to because they seem more interested in beating up the company and asking questions that can't be answered without violating securities laws than they are about honestly trying to find out about the company. I know one CEO of a small company that started screening his calls because he didn't want to talk to certain people where he felt the conversation wasn't accomplishing anything and the "investor" couldn't even manage to be civil to him. I'm not saying that's the case with you, just that we do need to be careful when we call to respect them and the job they are trying to do. We also need to realize that they can't always give us all of the answers that we think we need. Anyway, we need to be careful about speculating on the aquisition too heavily because we simply do not have all the facts. Imagine if I announced to you that some guy Bob was going to trade me his corvette for an undisclosed amount of cash and some apples from my pantry. Not knowing anything really about Bob you can't even begin to speculate what kind of deal I might get, or how many apples he wants. You also can't even begin to speculate on the condition of the car... instead Bob and I will take it to a mechanic and have him tell us about the car, and then Bob and I will sit down and reach an agreement that we both think is fair. There are way to many variables for you to even begin to guess on these things. I guess I'm saying that about all we can do is wait for the company to disclose the terms. Personally I will feel much more comfortable about the company then, because until that point, it is even more impossible to correctly determine a value for the stock than it was before... as incredible as that sounds for a non-reporting company :-) Generally speaking in cases like this I do get a bit nervous but that is just me. It seems like every time a penny is doing well and I think I have a handle on it's value and future it does something like this that muddies the waters in a way that leaves everyone guessing as to the outcome. Obviosuly the safest approach is to wait for the waters to clear so you know where you're going again. The people who take the risk of plunging into the unknown anyway are the ones who receive the biggest reward. Myself, I generally take a half and half approach and put some money in but not as much as I would if the way were clear. Just my opinion...

Hello! Little Engine, I couldn't help but notice that since you started as an S.I member on January 8th., 1998, that 19 of your 21 postings have been on the FAMH Thread! The part that has me somewhat puzzled? Is that for someone so recent as an S.I. Member, you have started very quickly at posting what I personally believe to be negative comments to specific individuals on the FAMH Thread! I will admit that you have made quite an impact on the FAMH Thread in a very short period of time! But! In my opinion ! Getting a reputation as someone who attacks rather than discusses and supports for the good of all thread participants is personally not the type of individual that I choose to share my thoughts or information with! ( Mainly because I don't feel that I would ever understand the true motivation behind the reasons for the negative overtones!). Since I believe in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt! ( At least for a few times!)--At this point in time I would be prepared to over look your recent examples of what I would consider as inapproporiate behaviour and interaction on the FAMH Thread! It has been my experience, that when I don't know the answer or have a reasonable handle on a specific topic/situation, then I personally have no problem admitting that I am a lost soul in certain areas and situations! and in most cases there are several individuals that will come to my assistance or for that matter anyone else's assistance to help point them in the right direction! That is my understanding of how I personally would like to see new threads develop and build from! ( A genuine and sincere interacting, communicating and sharing of information on the threads!) Personally I haven't got a clue what motivates you to make postings that in my opinion could very well turn people off, and possibly consider not sharing company information that they may have worked very hard and unselfishly at acquiring! If someone has taken the time to develop a strong communication with an FAMH Company Representative, and are willing to share their findings with their fellow thread participants! I for one am very interested at hearing the findings! And of course we should always keep in mind, that the end result of our investment decision is " OUR'S!" and "OUR'S!" ALONE to make! Little Engine! Please take my comments on this posting as an invitation to try and direct your dialogue on this thread in a more positive and constructive format! ( I'm not saying that you not challenge your fellow FAMH Thread Participants!--I'm just asking that you treat others with the same respect on this thread with the same spirit/manner that you would like to be treated!) I have a hunch that you have the credentials to be a very meaningfull and insiteful contributor to this thread!--I look forward to your future positive and team building contributions! Best Regards, Wayne J.
