Your conduct is disgraceful !!! First, before the inquisition starts, let me assure you that I have been a small shareholder in IMES since 1992 and am not an insider, company employee, etc. I have been using this thread as an information source for a long period of time now and am used to the usual bickering and bitching. However, Tom & others, your conduct is out of bounds and does not help further your cause. Quite frankly, I'm now embarrassed that I have directed other folks to you. How do you expect people to send money to your efforts when you act in such an unprofessional manner? It certainly doesn't give me confidence to write a check c/o an individual who makes fun of handle names - is that the best we can do? Why alienate potential allies with derogatory comments, accusations, and child-like name calling? Don't get me wrong - I respect all your hard work and what you are trying to achieve and fully believe in the freedom of speech. However, your approach and responses do not invoke confidence or comfort. I was taught to always take a negative and turn it into a positive. When greeted with adversity, use it as an opportunity to present your case and win an additional supporter. Don't immediately turn them away and ridicule them. I'm sure others, like me, have been completely turned off due to the manner in which Tralornik has been treated on this thread. If you have any suspicions about people on this thread, I suggest that you send them a private message and do a little DD before slamming them publicly. I believe in full disclosure (unlike what we get from the company.) Be cognizant, however, that the company probably uses this thread as an info source also. Be careful what you post in regards to the efforts at hand and the extent of people's involvement. I know that it is human nature to want all the details, but, my friends, is it wise to have them posted here for all the world to see? Respectfully Yours, LT
