My only reason for posting from the stockholders meeting was to pass on information as best as I could based on what I could remember for the benifit of those unable to attend. And, yes Sandie, when Joe implied that Bill lied, that did upset me, as I think it should upset anyone with money invested in this company.

Sandie I want to congratulate you on some very insightful posts today. Your first post today points out the importance of patience when investing. Unless one is a day trader they should never expect an instantaneous return. Even when investing in a company like this one which could have a tremendous impact on our lifes. Primarily making our food safer but there are so many other irons in the fire here so to speak that should not be overlooked. Soon the thread will have a new heading which will allow investors, both old and new, to better understand and access information on the company and it's stock. Please everyone take the time to look it over and access all the available information. Now as for your second post to JAMES LEE BLAND I think you were trying to emphasize the importance of tolerance while pointing out that we are all here to share information about the company, it's stock and investing in general. I completely agree. Unfortunately I'm afraid I have to take JAMES side in this issue as opposed to Joe's. When Joe first appeared on this thread he called us all a bunch of cheerleaders. Guess what he still is. He attacked our posts for lacking substance. I did not care for it and I admit that remains true. Still I was kind enough to point him in the direction of Melinda Ballard, who as you know is the company investor relations contact. I know for a fact that Joe did contact her and subsequently invested in the stock. I asked him to research the patent position and it's importance to the future of the company. He never did. Futhermore after telling us all how poor our posts were he wasted all of our time posting song lyrics on this thread. Good songs I'll admit, but what do song lyrics have to do with OZON? Now here is Joe, an investor who has an actual profit in this stock casting further aspersions at JAMES LEE BLAND after Joe blatantly implied that either JAMES or Bill Stoddard or perhaps both are liars for comments printed here after the company's annual meeting. I will say this again because it bears repeating. JAMES cannot nor should he be held responsible for remembering every word that was spoken at the annual meeting. It seems to me that JAMES is doing us all a tremendous favor by sharing this information with us at all. I mean think about that video will you? Charleton Heston has one of the most recognized voices around. I mean if his voice is not the voice of GOD to many of us it's at least the voice of Moses. I say lead us to the promised land! So to you I will have to ask you to please take your own advice. Be tolerant. Lets take the time to thank mister JAMES LEE BLAND again for sharing information from the shareholder's meeting the best that he can. If you want the shareholder's meeting taped next year then please go yourself and ask if they will allow it. Unfortunately that is very rarely allowed. One final thought for you since you seem to imply that information for shareholders is directly related to the size of their holdings? Perhaps there is some limited truth to that, however I have found investor relations people to be universally interested in sharing information with anyone. That is their job! In order to get more than the usual jargon from an IR contact you as an investor should arm yourself with enough information to appear well informed and intelligent. You might be surprised at what you will learn from IR people when they are motivated by your understanding of the comapny and it's situation in it's industry. I recently called a company which I own only 400 shares of stock in and spoke with the IR person. I was amazed at what I a virtual peon of a shareholder learned. Anyway lets not feel sorry for Joe. He gets what he wants here, plenty of information on what I feel is at most times the best thread at SI. How does he do it? He asks tough questions. I have no problem with that but I do take issue with name calling and questions of veracity. Regards, Jeff
