Russell, We are kind of joining two groups of folks here. I guess I can speak for the "oldsters" here. We have been talking about this for quite some time........as we were buying and buying and the stock kept going lower and lower. We are very independent people. Although we may end up doing the same thing for the same reasons...and share the same beliefs, we do not want to be told what to do and when...etc. We set examples and express individual opinions. If others decide for themselves that they would benefit by doing one thing or another...fine. Kicking butt and taking names is not my style. This is BANY....not any other short squeeze stock. The chances of success are much better if everyone decides to be different. I think everyone is going to do what is right for them....no matter what they say. People buy, sell, cert, based on many reasons. I do not want anyone to feel that doing one thing is bad, or hurts the group. I only ask that folks attempt to be as truthful as possible. This is all about good information and wise decisions. We will accomplish nothing if we become closed minded and aggressive towards one another.So......... I can tell you that I believe that there is a very large short position in BANY stock. I think BANY is a neat little company that has prospects and value. I have decided to call for certificates on Monday. I believe two other large block shareholders who have posted for months here have decided to do the same. I have known these individuals for quite some time and have no reason to doubt their word. I don't think it matters if loads of other people decide to do the same. I think it would be great....but it will not change my plans one bit. I don't care if people do it Monday, or Wednesday, or a week from Wednesday. Everyone should decide for themselves if, when, how many, for how long. Some people need to have some trading shares ready for sale...so they may keep 20% in street name for quick sale.....fine. Everyone does not need to participate. If people want to participate, great. I think the best we can do is to point out directions and information about how stuff like this works and express opinions as to what the best way to accomplish an objective might be. I think having a list of long shareholders is great, and finding out who intends to call their certs is great. It gives me an idea of where the effort might stand and perhaps what needs to be done. A bunch of BANY shares will be certificated in the week to come.....that seems certain. If a message is sent, great. If it causes discomfort for MMs...fine. If it forces short covering.....Super! If the stock goes up...everyone wins. I will never know unless I try. I very much appreciate your efforts, Russell....I really do. You need to remember that us "oldsters" are not used to all of this excitement and most of use have heart conditions that flare up anytime BANY trades more than 40,000 shares per day.......Please continue the low-pressure certithon........Everyone is expecting an emotional appeal on Sunday evening to put us over the top. I will help with the final appeal.....I'm good at begging, I've been married for 14 years. bg ps. Playin....I've kinda taken over the master list. Who is "steve" on the list?.....my buddy, or a different steve.

I have a comment to make about calling the certs next week... I think that if we all call for them on Monday and Tuesday it would have the best effect. If we wait until later in the week, the shorts have 3 days to dig up shares and a weekend to strategize. But if we call on Monday and Tuesday...then Friday becomes D-Day...right??? I also think that it would be especially damaging to the shorts if everyone that can rake up any extra money...put in orders to buy starting Friday. I was considering buying another 4,000 shares on Monday...but now I think that I would rather pay a little higher price on Friday and maybe only buy 3,000 shares. Just depends on the stock. I'm after all the money I can make but at the same time I want to do all that I can to move this stock up. Buying 3,000 to help squeeze when they are in the middle of a pinch might be better than buying more on Monday? What do you think? I've also told several friends about this stock and I'm sure several of them are lurking and thinking. A few of them could buy the float without missing the change. Guys and Gals...if you're out there...time to ante up. Buy a few for ol' times sake. Great weekend everyone! Mike Sawyer
