To ALL, I suppose,...............I don't recall being in the frying pan for quite some time so I thought I might give it a try again to remember what it feels like. I don't know David or Franco personally, but as time has gone on both of these parties have taken a bit of flack and it seems unfair that it continues. David brought quiet, informed, and articulate thoughts and information to this thread. To the best of my knowledge his "hard facts" proved out without exception. His Guesstimates and probable projections were as good as any others that have been offered on this thread. By way of his "position" he offered maybe a bit more informed forecasts and insight than we were likely to stumble on by ourselfs. I remember no "Hype". I remember no "outragous promises". Because of Davids contribution the magnitude of the potential for this stock was brought to light for many. I DO NOT want to, or even have to, be Davids defender however there does not seem to be any legitamate reason for the denigrating tones developing. We should all be better than that. Good or bad, in the final analysis we all make our own buying decisions. I for one, knew more about the company and it's potential at an early stage because of David's contribution. Franco,...What is there to say about Franco? He promoted. He hyped. He informed. He also stirred the pot and developed a greater awareness of CSMA. Any one remember any factual lies he told? I don't. I have had sympathy for those who bought at the highs we have experienced in the past and am still upside down myself. I stay and continue to expand my position because of my growing confidence in CSMA and the unusual opportunity I see just ahead. Lets face it, We are here to make money and this one smells like good money or we wouldn't be here. Franco made his bucks and left. There are a few of us here who could have done the same but we didn't for our own special reasons. My only real dissapointment with Franco was that he did'nt have the Gumption, Hair, Backbone, or Balls to say his good byes. He just slid out of town like a snake. For that reason only am I dissapointed in him. I'm not real sure now what motivated me to type this mess but I seem to recall thinking that we have a winner here and I find it disturbing that some people keep wanting to go back and beat that poor old dead horse. We are here because we are forward thinkers and planners. We are here because we are optimists. We are here because we are winners. So what do you say we keep our eyes on the horizon instead of looking back over our collective shoulders. This will be a good stock for us boys and girls. Lets ride on. Later, Chuck Messick
