Hello folks, haven't had time to review the thread during the past two weeks. I've heard something about Naxos getting an upgrade in the NASDAQ trading scheme. I'd appreciate anyone with knowledge (first hand, second hand or whatever) about this to give me a nutshell summary of the situation. TIA.

Well Dick. It's your name. Let's be real Dick how many people do you know have the name Hoaxland? Put the Dick in front of it with the type of post you have contributed to this thread and that is why we are obsessed with you. Many posters have asked that you reveal who you really are and you haven't. So you get what you give. We use the term SISO. SER

Dick: FWIW, I've exchanged a few private messages with one of the thread participants and there has never been a problem with my remaining anonymous. Some folks may feel more comfortable discussing issues knowing the other persons identity and I can appreciate that. Ser: electronic trading starts April 1/98.

Hoaxie: Leave Doc alone. Most of us have been in Naxos for awhile. With all the ups and downs it gets to be obsessive. Some have large stakes, perhaps too large given the risks involved. This thread welcomes both pro and con but was started and runs on POSITIVE input. If you have information of a negative nature and hide behind a sarcastic moniker be prepared to be treated like a lousy comedian. Stephen Wright. lol. And be heckled off stage. Say what you like but be a man. Post your name. Also be prepared to back up your theory. What sources do you use? Name names. Larry's giving you a shot at credibilty, privately. Show us why you should be heard or dissolve,vamos or take a sail with Stoney. All that dope makes for wild boat stuff right matey. Don Schreiber

Good Morning "Dick", I hope you slept well and that you are a happy "Dick" this morning. We don't get to worried about names and e-mail addresses with the old time regulars with unique identities. No one has bothered knight or Graystone about this. But over the months we have had a lot of "Dicks" show up here. And all these "Dicks" seem to sound the same. It gets a little confusing sometimes trying to tell all the "Dicks" apart. Maybe Larry was just confused and was trying to distinguish you from some other "Dick". I'm sure he didn't mean to get frustrated but I hope you realize that it is sometimes stressful trying to deal with so many "Dicks". All the best and sorry for the confusion "Henry"

Thats how i like to have discussions. IF you cant do either of those than i dont care to speak to you.....certainly not a tirade dick. larry macklin

Dick I am sorry, but you are turning into a whiner! I have personally apologized to you and stated what i thought the problem was. You have chosen to ignore that answer to continue to try and change the threads topic of conversation into your little"I am so abused" campaign. My suggestion for the thread is to completely ignore you and never answer another question until it has some substance or proof. Bye, Gerald Mark

Mr. Hoaxland, <<Why is a name and email address deemed to be so important on this thread?>> On Sunday, December 7, 1997 I posted this response to your question. It still reads fresh today. Mr. Hoaxland, thank you for telling us that is your real name. We will take you for your word. Now all we need is an e-mail address. To allay your fears I never have received an unsolicited e-mail from any supporter or opponent of Naxos. Therefore, obviously, just because someone is a staunch supporter of Naxos does not automatically mean that they will be inundated with unwanted e-mail. There must be other qualities that enrage, engage and result in flame wars. Speaking for myself, and to the undisciplined posters and contributors out there who just have to engage in one-line response to one-line responses, and so on ad bloody infinitum; let's tighten up a little out there. This thread is way too cluttered with nonsense. 'Nuff said. Now to the answer to your question, Mr. Hoaxland; To All; At the beginning of any public conflict, tension dynamics are created by our perceptions of "Us" vs. "Them"; and it's always viewed as Good Guys (Us) vs. Bad Guys (Them). In our personal experience this dynamic is the tension between our hopes and our fears. The net effect, in either case, is struggle and conflict. We have seen the renewed contention, recently on the thread, made extra painful because most of us are engaged in our own conflicts between our minds and hearts, the respective seats of knowledge and fear. How many feel "Us" and "Them" tension when Us is Naxos, and Them are family and friends? Who hasn't gotten a phone call from a dear one pleading to know why it is taking so long? Recently we have witnessed our lively discussion become "personal" and I am confused why someone who will not identify themselves as a real person would feel personally attacked? I understand why someone would want to maintain privacy and have supported that right and freedom with my life. But privacy does not seem to be the determinate motivation in many cases. If a poster witholds direct personal access because, as of a consequence of what they post, they don't want to get nasty responses, even threats, in their mailboxes they must be willing, in my opinion, to be treated as the impersonal electronic entities which persona they have willfully assumed. If you expect to be treated as a person then stand up as a person, as Mr. Liontamer has done by providing his email address, contrary to a previous post's contention. Sharks and lions, hyenas and vultures are inevitable realities in eco systems natural and electronic. They have roles to fill and often they go about filling them with a mechanical dedication we often find abhorrent, amoral, impersonal. Warm blooded creatures all sound alarms when approached by cold blooded killers which may then be avoided and evaded. I appreciate all the alarms that have been sounded regarding the thread jumpers, their histories and motives. Take it from one who knows; it is not easy to overcome your fear sufficient to swim with sharks, but it can be done. As I said in a previous contribution; <<Those posters possessing only the non-teachable levels of mechanical mind we can do nothing about except pray for them and prove them wrong. We should not suffer them in silence nor pay them too much heed. Mr. Aken was correct about the riff-raff showing up and spot-on about our less than stellar responses to them. We can do better when dealing with the thread jumpers.>> The only antidotes to doubt are faith and certainty (a combination of genuine knowledge and true experience). For myself, personally, I have all of one and a lot of the other. When posters become contributors, positive or negative, only then do they earn my respect. My living proof, still hanging in there, is David Cohen. May he never waver again! Welcome aboard, electronic posters and human persons alike. May you all be generously rewarded commensurate to the kind and degree your postings and contributions make here. God bless you all. Jerard P
