Thos, I have to agree that if everyone following this thread (posters and lurkers alike) were to spend a few moments writing a letter to the SEC, perhaps it could stregthen the shareholders position or at the very least weaken the dark-side. Please don't take this to be laziness, but do you know to whom we should address these letters to specifically as I think it would be more benificial should the letters end up in the same (correct) department of the SEC. Also, I can only speak for myself, but I have never wrote a letter of this nature so I am not sure exactly what to say. Would a general description of how we investors feel that the officers and IPIQ may have conspired to destroy our investments be suffiecient? I am not asking for exactly what we should write, but I think it's important that our letters have one clear focus as to give them more power. To any of those out there lurking or posting, please take a moment and write to the SEC. Think about it, your sitting at a computer write now. How long could it possibly take to write a quick letter stating your unhappiness with this situation, addressing the envelope, slap a stamp on it, and mail. Put your mind to it and a I bet you could do it in less than 10 minutes. We all may have our differences, but 10 minutes and 32 cents isn't much to ask... even I have to admit that. Tralornik

Dear THOS, My intention was not to piss you off, but to try and gather more information. It does appear that it has worked, since this is the first we have heard from you since the April 1 hearing. I have in fact written to the SEC, and received a reply. It was more of a standard thank you for your concern and we will look into the matter response, but the name International Meta Systems is now in their hands.
