tgs, I appreciate your questions. And I appreciate your courteous responses. Thank you. I have read every press release and SEC filing they have made over the past two years. I suspected such, leading me to question your recent appearance on the AGTI thread. I'm still a little unclear as to the personal motivation, coincidental with the recent announcements about Tom Nieman, K&B, and so forth. Considering your vested interest in the industry, you must admit -- any AGTI longs should take a guarded view of your objectivity. Real world, real money, high stakes. I do admire your candor and your admission of self involvement, along with your non-abrasive style. I have provided the thread some facts and some issues to ponder, certainly this is of greater value than a group I'm okay, you're okay session. I agree, so long as you are willing to disclose full facts and issues. You'll win my respect if you present a balanced view, not a slanted picture designed to discourage investors from AGT. So I represent the leading competitor, big deal. This statement says a lot. Caveat emptor. I'm also curious as to what makes someone such a fanatical shareholder. I'm quite sure that GMTC would love to have you. I really don't consider myself fanatical, but the term does not offend me. First reason is admitted self interest and self preservation. I am what I am, here to deceive no one, admittedly looking for my investment to appreciate. I occasionally "get off" when I begin to see that the opposition isn't shooting straight. That's exactly why GMTC will never see a dime of investment from me. I believe those guys play dirty in the trenches, both on SI and in the real world of sales. Am I correct that GMTC has one or more key players who are ex-AGT employees? Shareholders may have disapproved of Bob Silzer for various reasons, but I assure you and everyone else that the man has character and integrity. I have to leave now, but I'll continue this dialogue over the weekend. I hope that the information I provide is helpful, even if you only admit it privately, and allows you to analyze the opportunity with more information. Thanks again...sincerely...for your future unbiased input. I'm here to keep you honest, as best I can. Best Regards, Hardrocker

(Continuation of my post number 1797) tgs, Sorry, the weekend was too busy (income taxes and sick kids) to allow time for SI. I'll continue my response(s) as I have time during this week. You wrote (in post number 1779): GMTC does seem to have a problem in their corporate communications. This is the most negative commentary I've heard you make about GMTC, but I assess this to be a marvel of understatement. On this thread, I called GMTC as a great short candidate last fall and as such, it exceeded my highest expectation. I find it hard to believe that all of GMTC's stock woes resulted from poor communication, wouldn't you agree? I think the problems actually stem from foiled or delayed business plans for satellite based bingo, sour deals in the Pacific Rim and so forth. Funny, this picture (i.e., deals gone wrong) reminds me of lingering shareholder complaints about AGTI. As to patent lawsuits. I believe that all companies involved in Electronic Bingo are now involved in patent lawsuits. Yes GMTC is involved in a patent infringement suit with BTC and FortuNet. I would suggest reading the GMTC prospectus or their latest 10Q for more information regarding these lawsuits. But certainly since you know so much about AGTI and have been willing to share every negative detail with SI readers...on this AGTI thread... you won't force us to ferret out any possible negative stuff about our major competitor? As a main distributor for GMTC, I would assume you know even more about GMTC than you do about AGTI, so why refer us to 10Q's and so forth? And regarding lawsuits, I am unaware that AGTI has any patent infringement suits filed against them. Can you verify or deny this? Also, although not a patent infringement suit, what about the shareholder suit against GMTC? Or is this a misprint: biz.yahoo.com tgs, I told you that I'm going to attempt to keep you honest. For the benefit of all readers, I would like to point out once more that your appearance on this thread coincides with AGTI's licensing approval in Texas, with their appointment of Tom Nieman as CEO, with the new K&B agreement, etc. As GMTC's distributor in the large TX market, you stand to lose market share if AGTI begins to succeed, period. Perhaps the posts of our discussion should also be copied to the GMTC thread? Best Regards, Hardrocker
