<< BTW, I see your "desperate" appeal over on Roger's thread didn't raise any interest >> Maybe since you post over on that thread Roger and others didn't want to comment in order to be polite to you. Too bad you can't read my email which is private, it might tell you a different story. << Roger a month or so ago when he was posting about BROC and suggested he look at FIBR long so I guess he really has no opinion one way or the other. >> Not that I need Roger's approval, but like I said I think he is being polite to both of us by not commenting whether he like it or not. Also, I made the same kind of appeal to that thread to short COMS and didn't garner much in the way of reponses either. Too bad they didn't take my advice on that one as well.
