To Janybird: Thanks for your diligent work to make the CCSI story understandable to all. I am sorry you were not able to make it to New York last fall for the FDA celebration. To the other CCSI followers: I have owned a significant number of shares for 2 years in CCSI and have learned the meaning of the word "patience". I have had the opportunity several times to speak with Darby during this time and I have periodically purchased additional shares based on my personal belief in this lady and on the efficacy of the CCSI patented and FDA-approved system. I speak with a number of corporate executives in my work and have concluded that some have succeeded in spite of themselves. However, in this case, I have become more and more impressed with Darby. She candidly admits her strengths are in the research and development area. She is not an attorney, trained to negotiate complex world-wide agreements. She is obviously not a promoter, trained to keep the massing hordes happy with continuous drivel. She is not a stock market wizard, trained to focus on the CCSI stock price gyrations. What she is, is someone in whose judgment I have learned to trust explicitly. She has never hyped her stock to me. She has never promised dates of events to me. What she has repeatedly done is to portray honestly the current status of her efforts, without disclosing any secrets. I have checked behind the statements, going so far as talking to the FDA to get a copy of their approval of CCSI's product and calling Lehman Brothers re Fred Frank. This checking behind the story, or DD, is borne of many, many years of investing. Not everthing always works out, but you develop a sense of who is telling you the truth and who is trying to sell you. During my visit to New York, I had the opportunity to speak at length with Skip. He is an impressive individual whose stock ideas are often very interesting. As an owner of CCSI for 1 1\2 years at the time I met Skip, I was not a newcomer listening to a stock pitch. Skip's patience with his stock ownership is admirable. His patience with those that "do not get it" is less admirable. But we all have our faults. It is a shame that he has felt compelled to get into an unnecessary war of postings with some folks. I personally appreciate intelligent debate on almost any subject as it forces me to continuously review the beliefs I have on a subject. In this case, even the wandering amblings of some posters have kept me alert and sensitive to the reasons I am in CCSI. It is a great loss when intelligent folks feel they must leave a debate. I have great respect for the insights and musings Skip has provided here and I hope he will eventually return. I do not expect for everyone here to share my thoughts. Regarding CCSI's future, my belief is that the truth lies somewhere in between the extremes. With FDA approval, patent protection and potent advisors, CCSI has a bright fuure. No, they will not bring about world peace, cure global warming or guarantee millions for each stockholder. What they are doing is taking the prudent approach to realizing the best value for the stockholders from the assets the company owns. I cannot predict the future for sure. But I have placed my long-term faith in a company led by a determined individual who has kept her focus single-mindedly on the goal of developing a product which will benefit a certain portion of the population. My hat is off to her, and I look forward to seeing the results in the now not-too-distant future of her 10+ year effort. Keep the faith.
