I got a very strange phone call this morning. Lady told me (among other things), it was time for me to "sell the rest of my shares and get the f**k out of 'our' company!" It actually sounded like a threat. Seemed a bit much. After all, I'm not the one who has been dumping shares for months and I'm certainly not in cahoots with whoever is doing it. So why come down so hard on me? (Other than I irritate the heck out of folks here.) The lady maintained that she had hired investigators to find out who was doing the selling and she knew who it was, and why. But she wouldn't share that info with me (of course not). She had a purpose for calling, but I don't think it was ONLY to tell me to quit posting on SI (though I think that was one objective). I wonder who put her up to such a thing? Good thing my wife was listening on the other line (it's against the law to tape phone conversations in Washington State without both party's permission). Some of you think it very hypocritical of me to submit an apology in one post, but then not to stop bad mouthing things. What I apologized for was for possibly saying anything on SI, or in private communications, which may not have been true. Frankly, I don't believe I ever did say anything slanderous or untrue. And I certainly never had the desire to intentionally say untrue things. I DID ask questions which I thought MIGHT uncover some unpleasant things. After Joe's call to me, however, I discontinued my efforts to do further research. In any case, I did NOT apologize for being disagreeable. And I feel I still have the right to ask questions (even if some of you think they are dumb questions or tend to show negatively on the company.) George E.
