Dear raefon, By way of recognizing your kind words I must admit that I am indeed addicted to the thread if not the Company. I must also confess not to have taken the short position I advertised---the order was not executed. I have my second thoughts at this time simply because I do not wish an earlier post of mine to become a self-fulfilling prophesy ---the one about my being able to pick the bottom by selling all my shares. Not wanting to be known as a cheerleader ---especially on the down-side --- I assure you I have retained a total of 66 shares in one of my IRA accounts while I continue to contemplate the possibility of shorting in my trading account. All joking aside ---well, almost all--- I still feel that management's hopes to achieve results similar to an earlier fortuitous slip into the "Ol' two-holer on the hill" by executing a showy swan dive right back into the same nethermost region are ill-founded. The SEA cesspool wants further draining, failing which could release an unwholesome smell into the MOT basement. The results would not be glamorous. I will not elucidate but those who have experienced such calamity in their personal abodes need no prompting! Additionally, the trade concessions in the Japanese market won by the Clinton administration on behalf of MOT are severely threatened by that country's continued backward slide down its own slippery economic slopes. Not at all comforting is the knowledge that they (Japan) have a desperate grip on our coattails vis a vis the dollar/yen. Please forgive my substituting for the obligatory IMHO my own disclaimer that I am in no way qualified by education nor experience to publish these musings for the benefit of those seeking investment advice. On the other hand, I believe my "Chicken bones, tea leaves and Fish guts(pat. pend.)" strategies promise an efficacy exceeding mere FA and TA offerings from Wall and Main streets establishments. They are available to anybody with the requisite gullibility and funds. Frank

Dear Raefon, I noticed the new PR work for TFS and am happy to see it result in an actual picture of a cell phone with a clear screen below the mouthpiece to pick up web pages, e-mail, etc. The LCD screen is suitable for use in medical devices, cell phones, or digital cameras, according to the linked article below: news.com Perhaps this news would have been carried as the Siliscape material was released without all the brouhaha on the thread. Maybe. Maybe not. Impossible to say. I just hope that the thread members attending the meeting can sit on their egos long enough to give Buchanan the credit. From where I sit, it's a lot more important for TFS to give a good show this week than to fight about who gets credit for what. My goal is simply to laugh all the way to the bank. I imagine the same is true for many posters. Have no fears for you, of course, since you are both intelligent and congenial. --Ariella
