tgs59, Briefly, here's the concern about an intelligent and savvy (used in a respectful sense, no sarcasm intended) competitor posting on this thread: Even though you are not a shareholder of either company by your own admission, is it not possible that you could help to weaken AGTI's competitive position by simply discouraging AGTI investors, either present or potential? I know this may sound pretty "far out" to you, but by keeping investors at bay, the company is inherently weaker than it might be otherwise. It helps to weaken the focus of AGTI management toward doing the important things they are trying to do. It makes some of the shareholders skittish, if they might read a barrage of negative reports from an acknowledged industry expert. I have never asked nor implied that you should stop posting here, only that you try to take a balanced approach in your assessment of AGTI. You gotta admit, $.06 is a pretty cheap ticket price to a show as spectacular as electronic bingo might become. I got toasted a little by Steve Pluvia regarding PLSIA, but the situation was very similar. As you are extremely knowledgeable in the gaming industry, so is Pluvia knowledgeable in the dental laser industry. No one will ever know what impact he actually had on share prices for PLSIA, but Westergaard securities took it pretty seriously. In a major blunder, John Westergaard publicly issued a $5000 reward for info leading to the identity of Steve Pluvia. A bunch of liberal crybabies cropped up supporting Pluvia's First Amendment rights and voila! He became an overnight icon and Westergaard looked like an idiot. PLSIA may have deserved the outcome in share prices, I don't know. But the fact is, IMHO, Pluvia was instrumental in assuring that the company's struggle was intensified. Please do not misread the intent of the above story. I am only trying to help you understand the concern on this thread. If you really want some light reading straight from National Enquirer, review the PLSIA thread, starting around August/1997. Best Regards, Hardrocker
