i completely agree with your post. some of those issues are very, very old(like the australian investment or giving a possible date for product introduction) and he has brought them up months ago. it's obvious to me that management has learned from those mistakes.it appears to me from talking to other independent sources that things are in high gear now.several of the worlds most respected companies have bought into this technology and are investing their resources into spd products. if they can tell me that it is the" best technology that they have ever seen" and that there is "tremendous demand for these products" than i can live with that and invest my money in the people at refr.

Dear Michael: I was the one being attacked from all directions, by all the Rah! Rah! investor's in REFR. The question isn't only why has a product not come out, with promises being made for years that one would, but also there is much skepticism on my part about the viability of the process itself. When was the last time you saw a press release form the co, stating that the reason we don't have a product is because we haven't got the process to work effectively yet? Don't you believe that a detailed explanation of these problems is warranted. Obviously if a product was to be released possibly 4 years ago, these problems are serious, especially in light of Joe's comments that durability tests had not yet been initiated. What if the durability tests are negative? Don't be a fool and follow the Pied Piper, unless SOMEONE puts pressure on this COMPANY we may never have an answer...or a product. I am not in investing to make friends or influence people, just to have FUN and make a bit of money. The past 2 days haven't been fun, and I learned an awful lot about ego's, greed, and sun-worshiper's. Now it's time to get ALL THE ANSWERS...those MOST EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS AFRAID TO ASK, BECAUSE JOE AND BOB ARE NICE GUYS, AND YOU HAD LUNCH WITH THEM. I've dined with many household names, many of who are more famous/and or wealthier than the net worth of this Co. When I asked them tough questions they willingly responded. The whole truth isn't being told. If there is not a serious problem, why wasn't there a product years ago? JUST ANOTHER STUPID QUESTION OF MINE. GARY
