Martin: Obviously there are many of us that are disgusted with the garbage being posted here and on Yahoo. I just wonder if there is some way we can selectively keep in touch with each other regarding the stock. We pretty well know by now who the good guys are, and who is not. What I'm driving at is that we maintain our own mailing lists. Here on America Online we can keep an address book of e-mail addresses, and write to anyone and send carbon copies to the rest. Do you get my gist? Please let me know if you have any ideas on the subject. One last point, you might say is that the negative ones could follow us to our own private e-mail address, but, in AOL I have the option of "blocking" anyone's mail that I DON'T want to hear from. That's a powerful tool. Bill

Hi Martin, As I posted some time ago, I sold off 90% of my position in this company, made a very slight gain, and kept 3,000 shares for either as a toe hold or a loss. If I pay much attention to this stock at this point though, my strongest response is one of annoyance, kind of like the tin can tied to the dog's tail, and I just may be at the point of cutting it loose and taking that benefit. I don't see anything else that would make better sense. Of course, I could be wrong, but if this stock is going to do any better in the future there will surely be a more sensible point of re-entry at that time. To spend a lot of time re-examining everything about why one originally got into this stock is an irrational attachment to pride and hope, not unlike busying oneself with rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. There are many, many far better alternatives. By the way, even though I have not posted a lot to this thread, I have followed it for quite some time. For the most part, I have found the people here to be genuine and sincere. I truly appreciate and respect an opportunity like this for, beyond being a powerful medium in which we can all participate in the marketplace to an extent unheard of just a short time ago, I find it enriching and filled with potential for rewarding self examination and personal growth. Here we have a context, thanks to technology, in which we can all be helpful to each other in immediate ways at the same time that we pursue our own personal goals, and thus the synergy is such that each one of us can accomplish much more than ever before possible. It is important that we not misuse this opportunity by losing sight of the good that it can do, nor abuse it for personal gain at the expense of others. The wonderful thing is that I now know you, and you know me. I thank you for all the good you and many others have done on this thread. Best, Charliss

Can't speak for everyone, but I believe Darlene got tired of being attacked also...and if I remember Charger correctly after her visit to the mine, I thought she stated she felt she didn't need to post anymore that she was more than satisfied with what she saw...But, obviously not hearing from anyone, I can't say that that remains the same at this moment... Look at it this way....ok, so it's five years (I hope you bought and sold a little along the way to recoup the reverse split)....look how long you have been invested in your life!!! (I promise by the time we are done, your pup will at least get a large bone or doghouse out of it, worse comes to worse....you can use the shares to put a new roof on for him...see there's always something positive...<ggg>....

Martin, I understand your anger at Lionel and BCMD: we believe they have significant gold value and potential, and I for one cannot escape the conclusion that they have suppressed their own good news either by design or incompetence, as I suggested in my post 3056 (I think it was). However, you also lash out at Darlene, Charger, and Ie Coan Bie. Darlene and Charger are friends of mine and I am in touch with them daily. I think they are absent from the thread because the company has given us little basis for positive commentary, and the ensuing doubt is something in which many of us do not wish to wallow. I don't think they "hype[d] the crap out of BCMD", but at a time when they were in frequent touch with Lionel, they shared with considerable enthusiasm what was new and substantive in the information he and Jim provided, they reported on trips to the mine, etc. They believed, and they backed it up with dollars. Should they come on now and say "Well, I am not so sure about this after all?" I think they both hope that the company's story and stock price will turn positive again, as do I, even though I have sold off my position for the present. As I have said before, I appreciate your posts and the fact that you got this thread going. When I spoke with Lionel about my post 3056 he did not deny my scenario, other than to say, "Well, we could not buy back shares unless we were profitable," which of course is a pointed non-denial. People have lost a lot of money on the stock in the past three months, and they have plenty of justification, I believe, for being angry with the company. I suspect that ultimately those who hold on (or buy back in, as I plan to do) will be pleased with the end result, if not the route taken. Best regards, Oscar
