tgs59, You wrote:Okay Hardrocker, I beat you to the punch. Yes you did, and I appreciate your post. I've been quiet for awhile for various reasons, but I still follow the thread as frequently as possible and have observed the unfortunate battles which ensued over the last few months. Quite honestly, I felt badly that I had perhaps served as an ignitor for the ongoing feud regarding AGTI and GMTC. It's no secret that some AGTI followers view you as someone who is sinister and manipulating, because of your GMTC distributorship and obvious competitive implications. Your knowledge of the bingo marketplace is both overwhelming and impressive. My only appeal to you was that you use this knowledge to paint a balanced picture which is not skewed too harshly in favor of GMTC. I even received private email's from numerous people who were angry that I was posting to you in a civil tone. I find it interesting to note that yesterday's post by you is the first solid good news I've seen from any source for some time. You could have remained silent as we all lick our wounds from the trading activity or worse yet, you could have given us an "I told you so". But you didn't. You showed balance and character by giving us a little good news for which I am grateful. Thank you.TO ALL: I'm still here, haven't sold a share and still hoping for a dramatic turnaround by AGTI. I refuse to speculate about financing or anything else until Tom Nieman and co. have had time to do the tough job which lies before them. I spoke to Tom briefly yesterday in a first-time private conversation between him and me, and I can tell you that he seems to be both professional and a gentleman. In case anyone's curious, Tom did not encourage this post by me and, in fact, has no idea that I'm even posting. He seems like a good man to be at the helm and I'm willing to give him room to work. I respectfully suggest that other shareholders should consider doing the same. Best Regards, Hardrocker
