Where'd, You do realize that you have now pretty much totally destroyed your credibility on this thread? You have chosen to take on the person who has (arguably) been on here the longest and has been amongst the most invaluable contributors. Whether you are right in your beliefs or not, the personal hostility of your prior posts is not needed. I'm not going to step in the middle of the debate (ie. the cancer issue(s)), but I can safely predict that you may have made yourself persona non grata among some of the thread "regulars". I don't doubt that you are an intelligent individual that could make valuable contributions to a discussion. Counterpoints are always welcome, and they are pretty much the only way progress is ever made. So, for the good of all of us, please "play nice". I look forward to discussing various antisense issues with you in the future. sds

Where'd... I think that our discussion is going nowhere. Also, it is not appropriate for this board. As I said, I will not be responding in first place if your tone wasn't provocative. For benefit of all active and passive member of this board you are welcome to participate and discuss on relevant issue as long as you want. But, please be focused on issue, not person(s), whoever he/she are. I am not trying to impose my opinion/view on others, nor influenced anyone investment decision. From early 96, when I was very bullish about Isis, I change rating to moderate-cautious bullish. My current opinion will not change overnight, and I do not see anything wrong in that. It does not mean that I am correct or that other should listen to me. The some is valid for specific topic which we are discussing here. Regards the new discoveries, technologies and drugs, there are no sure thing and solid proof. I am not promoting negative opinion toward any bt, but I do suggest cautious for hyped break-trough news and discoveries. Not from scientific point of view. Science will progress rapidly in its own way. But, will application follow this break-trough is different question. mz PS: Dr. G. Olah is Nobel Laureate and head of the Locker Hydrocarbon R.I. @ USC.
