PA, Per your post: "I do think that sometimes there is a real lack of tolerance for dissenting views here. And overall, I think that hurts more than helps. And just to be clear, I'm not making a specific reference to you." PA, I don't have a problem with others having different views about DCI and asking questions that they want answered. I also didn't think that your question was out of line, though did think that since we had already covered the issue of how Joe can buy companies at lower $/revenues ratios and turn around later and sell the whole package for a much higher multiple later had been answered, at least to my satisfaction. (If you go back through Joe Murphy's posts, you should find where he explained exactly how and why this is possible to do BTW) General: Sometimes, it's not so much what is asked on the BB but how it's asked that will determine the response elicited. I think that those that want to ask questions would more likely to get a positive response and the answers they seek if they take the time to phrase their questions in a positive manner. Asking questions is a good thing I think, as the discussion can add to understanding of DCI by those that follow the BB. On another note: 4500 shares of buying was all it took to move us back to 2.156 x 2.187, a great day for DCTC! A move up of .156 on the bid.. James

PAM, I just finished talking with Joe and I presented your question to him. His answer was pretty much the same as my earlier speculation to you. Jason is convinced Joe will find a buyer for DCI in the not too distant future and he is convinced DCI is under valued. As James just pointed out, Smartalk was selling at $10.00 per share with $70 million in revenues and no earnings. When DCI was doing their DD on LOCUS, LOCUS was doing their DD on DCI. The people at EDGE felt the same way. We need to keep in mind that Joe has been acquiring companies for other companies for many years before DCI and he is just plain good at it. IMO he will have several more acquisitions in place by the end of June and he will not have paid more than 1.2 times revenues for any of them. Best Regards

>> I do think that sometimes there is a real lack of tolerance for dissenting views here. Which was my point. Your comments weren't "dissenting" in any way whatsoever. They were honest-to-goodness, legitimate questions, but as I said, every question around here is/was interpreted by some to be a swipe at Joe. That's absolute BS. Now granted, there have been some who raised questions in an insincere and dishonest fashion, and thank goodness they are or appear to be gone. And there have been some who have stepped WAY over the line and questioned the integrity of some. They also appear to be gone, or at least to be lurking. I also believe that the rah-rah tendencies have subsided, which is also good, particularly for new investors. It seems that some of what gets posted here is more appropriate as private messages, since they are more wink-and-nod than anything else. We've lost some decent posters, apparently, like JJ and Cody and the like, but I sense that they are still here, only in the background. And of course, it was groovy when the Murph was able to post, but I assume that he and we are better off that he's not, given the troublesome posters that seemed to want to take a shot at him on a regular basis. I appreciate the analysis offered by Bruce, Joe Med. and James, the wit and whim of the peepster and of course, George's reports from the Damien front. These good folks endeavor to respond to queries, interpret events, or merely entertain. Much appreciated, particularly after a tough day at the OTC, etc. Most of all, I appreciate the Murph's steady hand on the keel. I have a lot of money riding on his horse, and I'm sitting back in my seat with my feet up. Ken P.S. As to the Medsker's "no" to second chances vis-a-vis 4/29, I'll drink to that!
