My 2 cents on the ruckus going on here. First, I think the news of FTEL "spinning off" (what ever the correct pharasing is) FNET makes us face what we have known for a while but didn't want to face. FTEL DOESN'T OWN ALL OF FNET! When it was an intregrated part of FTEL it just seemed to be all together, now it is really a seperate company which we own a stake (no greater than 70%) in, but not all of. Second, mostly to elk NOT EVERYONE HERE BOUGHT SHARES AT $.01. That doesn't give us less rights because we didn't have the "vision" four years ago. I actually bought this stock before it split and just left it in my portfolio. I began following it again about a year ago and added a small amount. When people gripe about the stock being down 30% or 60%, they aren't making it up, they really are down. They also shouldn't get the answer, when they ask critical questions about the company "SELL SHUT GO AWAY, YOU JUST DON'T GET IT AND ARE TOO STUPID TO SEE "THE VISION" OF FTEL" or "CALL THE COMPANY, DO YOUR DD, AND SHUT UP, GO AWAY, SELL"

Been looking at the chart. Very interesting, can't say it's unexpected. There was a little resistance at $20 but once that was cleared nice sailing to 40+. All in the last 7 days. Oh wait, must've typed the wrong symbol. F-TEL, K-TEL whatever. We'll have our day. LOL Just went to the FTEL home page. ftel.com I first bought last August, ya know what? None of the press releases were there at that time. Quick questions - Is the company shrinking or expanding? Has management been honest or deceptive? Are they moving quickly or dragging along. Speeding up or slowing down. Yes the stock price hasn't reflected these things, but take a look at 1996, slow steady decline (buying opps) and then POW! History repeats itself? waiting for POW, gary
