To All, I know many of you post on the Yahoo message board as well as this one. I have never posted there before until tonight and I am now wishing that it had a 15 minute post evaluation as well. I will be the first to throw an X yard penalty flag on myself. People like him just get under my skin. I lost my cool and I apologize. I am just glad that I have an SI membership so I never have to put up with people like him here. I hope I did not lose any respect from my fellow SI members as I acted out of emotion and anger and did not act objectively as I should have. I guess why I got so angry is because right now, this company is in a pivotal position where it could either do very well, or sink like the Titanic and to hear people say silly things makes me angry. But now that I think of it, no serious investor would listen to a post like that. Oh well. Just thought I would clear up my out of character post. X. Cane

Sigmund, According to the NPTH press release: ®The PMA supplement requests approval to use the AutoPap System as an initial screener, identifying 25% of slides which receive AutoPap review only and may be archived as normal. The remaining 75% of the slides have the highest probability of containing abnormal cells. These will then be manually screened and will include a 15% subset subjected to federally mandated Quality Control rescreening. ¯ Am I reading this correctly?? 75% of the slides must be rescreened manually. Of these 75%, 15% must be screened a third time. This would mean that if you were screening 100 slides using the AutoPap System, there would still be 87 manual screenings still required! No wonder people are asking if it is cost effective. Cisco
