James, I agree we need to give new posters more of a chance. After reading Toni's post, I'm even wondering if when signing up for the one months free membership, the people are being given a chance to create a profile with their e-mail address, etc (?). We've been rapping on a lot of people who have shown up since the offer started because they didn't have "real names" and/or e-mail addresses -- maybe (just maybe) the missing e-mail address isn't totally their fault. We need (lots and lots of) new people to start investing in DCI so whatever we can do to encourage "newbies", we should. On another point, it bothers me when some of the "oldbies" (new word) post about their "long talks" with Joe Murphy and/or encourage others to call him directly when they have questions. As you indicated, DCI now has over 3500 investors. We also have a CEO who appears to work a lot of very long days, who is in the office a lot of weekends, and who travels a lot on DCI's (/our) behalf. We also happen to have a lot of confidence in this guy and we all have a lot riding on him (!!!). The point: Joe has to have a lot of better things to do than to spend several hours out of his already busy days talking to either established or potential investors. I know this will apply less to those of you who have personal relationships with him but I hate to see new people encouraged to contact him directly. Personally, I've never called him directly and (probably) never would because I assume (/hope!) he has more important things to do than talk to me. Instead of encouraging people to call Joe, wouldn't it make more sense to have them call Dan Murphy who's in charge of Investor Relations. I wouldn't hesitate to call someone with questions when I know it's that person's job to keep me (as an investor) happy. Also, if Dan gets swamped, presumably the IR office could be grown as necessary. Another option would be to have people call (or e-mail) some of the long term investors such as yourself and Joe Medskar and Grupo (and others). I'm certain you all know enough about the company to satisfy the vast majority of questions potential investors might have. Don't mean to be "volunteering" you (or any of the other long timers) w/o your permission but I also know you're all probably just as interested in furthering the DCI cause as most DCI employees -- including Joe -- are. I don't, however, mind volunteeering Dan M. because I believe that to be his job. I just think we should leave Joe alone to do what we know he does best: "The Art of The Deal" (he must have read Trump's book (g)). In the overall scheme of things letting Joe "do his thing" is what's going to benefit all of us the most. Dan
