I don't think the management would intentionally try to manipulate the price down, but I think they knew that nothing was likely to drive the price up over the short term and that's part of the reason for the three different conversion periods. I don't believe that they failed to learn from previous placements and I don't think they are so desperate for cash that they "had" to do this placement now. We all know that DPI is a spinoff worth well over $8 million and they still have available credit. We are in this situation now and I think we're allowing the shorts to control the dialog if we only debate how badly we're likely to get hosed. It's possible that this was a smart move taken on the advise of knowledgeable experts (Volpe). Let's not fail to see the opportunities. Bryon
