Let me say when someone posts scores of messages and inflames responses it is very rude because it takes much time and effort to sift through. I personally dont respond and almost tune off the board.It is just bad form and manners.I only posted a joke last night to al and although I believe I have some value added it seems to get lost in this din. let me make reponses for the benefit of new lurkers or investors. 1-Consider a fact that at&t is closely working with ftel on the development of the portable test kit based on the fso/fxo. 2-Competition-Lucent tech. has something called bell labs,cisco ,ya de ya de ya,think we have competition,you bet. Thats why I went bananas when the syracuse eval and the c t article hit saying we had the best.For goodness sake that should have done something to your blood pressure.Can we hold the lead,who knows but just to have it is remarkable. 3-Earnings-This company just emerged from an r&d company. I keep saying forget earnings for 3-6 months. What you should be concerned about like in biotech companies is burn rate of cash. We just had a capital infusion of over 7 mil. dollars skeptics, do you think those institutions we naive as some of the wonderful people posting hear (trying to save us from the devil) would have us believe.No new investors we have much to stay on top of as rb posts. However at this point i can say I have much to be grateful for in this investment. By the way I didnt finish the burn rate thing.In conversations with tom russel(a very impressive executive)he stated at our present burn rate we are ok for over 2 years.This is very important because shit happens and it is comforting to know that we can financially stand unpleasant surprises and still have time to operate.Not many start up companies have that luxury.Have a nice weekend all and lets hope for nasdaq soon.

Ditto RB. That's why I just lurk anymore. Time is money and time wasted responding to the uninformed to satisfy their ego is a waste of my money. See you at the shareholders meeting. Dave J.

RB My frustration with posters like Valu is that they feel they must remind all of us that this is highly speculative. When and if you buy BB stocks you understand from the outset that its a house of cards. The Investor is given only so much information to chew on at this stage of the game. In the case of Franklin I entered into this stock on very limited info. I dug and searched and I asked hard questions. Since my initial purchase the information to make an informed decision has increased 10 fold. We now have an S1 to reference as well as earnings being reported. Although limited we have had some excellent media coverage. We also have unpaid and unbiased 3rd party statements as to the quality of the product. This is not hype and at the same token its not a guarantee of success. All who read this thread and own this stock know its a gamble. If this was chess we are still in our opening moves. A good chess player however can dictate the outcome of the match by establishing themselves with a good open. Has Ftel made a good opening? IMHO Ftel has the queen running while they are poised to take the rook.gggg thank you for responding to my question on the NASDAQ. By the way if your still stuffed up try sucking on Zinc. Trust me it works. Seth
