TRALORNIK was perfectly correct in asking what he and others can expect from contributing $100 (or more). This is only reasonable. Your response while somewhat informative continued to unfairly demean TRALORNIK and/or his motives. If you're going to ask for someone's money, you have an obligation to openly answer all reasonable questions and not take offensive.

I'm a long time investor in IMES ( 6 yrs. ) that's been following this thread as a sole source of info and, more importantly at times, entertainment. The whining, sniping, and speculation bordering on paranoia compete only with my Larson calendar as a source of daily amusement. The ONLY reasons why I would join in such madness are twofold. 1. Free trial membership ( not worth $125 to me personally ) 2. Can't see a lot of humor in getting robbed of 15K investment. I called the Tom Childs number yesterday and heard enough to get my check in the mail today. I don't trust lawyers as a rule and really hate to throw good money after bad, but even those who are business acumen challenged like myself can recognize a HEIST! Clearly, these things can happen very quickly ( $135K promisory note pretense as legal grounds for seizure of assets ) and legal counsel is needed to delay their greedy tactics and preserve our interests. I can't believe anyone would have the balls to invest in a risky play such as IMES and quibble over $100 or so that could help teach greedy bastards a lesson, let alone, protect one's own interests. If you're on the fence, call Tom Childs, identify yourself, and most importantly, send a check to DeCosta. That giant sucking sound is not jobs going to Mexico; it's your investment going down an Austin toilet. Feeling better already.

Excellent post. There are many who suggest that I have lost my perspective on this topic. I haven't, I just don't find being swindled out of a great deal of money as a subject of any amusement. Moreover, I have no patience for those people who are content to let others carry their water and who have a host of reasons why they have no responsibility to pitch in. Your comment on the $100 contribution is absolutely appropriate. Those who feel justified in questioning the bona fides of the people who are fighting their battle - don't deserve the effort. Some us have spent an enormous amount of time working on this issue and don't appreciate the musings of the ignorant and uninformed.

Thanks for the information I really appreciate it , although I still don't understand why you feel the need to cut me down. Is talk all that I am made of? Next you'll be setting up a fight with me at the gym after school. Some of the people here need to take a look at their inter-personal skills and perhaps decide who they are really mad at. I didn't invest your money in this stock, nor did I cause this pig to go bankrupt. I just wanted more info and thought you all would know it. I assumed this was a forum for discussion, not a lynch mob. Sorry to bother you.
