I hear the frustration talking, maybe you own shares you bought above this level (I own some at $3.75 myself and I sure others have bought even higher at times) or whatever but I can't share your perspective that we are going no where at this time. James, No, I didn't say we were going no where collectively as a company. To be fair the $1.37 was a great entry point and we have improved in price in the past 30 days, but that was when DCTC really tanked. Here are the numbers back from November when all the wave, conversation was being implemented. I'm basing my stagnation comments on the average stock price since all these acquisition plans have been in process. Based on the stock movement as an indicator since then, (as a shareholder) it's really averaged out in a tepid manner for any longer term holder.

A little of course. Frustration was invented for a reason. <GGG> I still believe we'll be over $4 in (I hope) not too long. Please know that I too am looking forward to being sockless as long as that isn't a requisite for being shoeless. <g> Onward, George
