Thanks, BR. I really appreciate a civil answer to a sincere question. I own shares of ASND, as well as PMCS, MRVC, ATMI, ASYT, ESIO, etc., because of following Infrastructure, but I really never knew exactly what ASND, PMCS and MRVC products do and will mean to our society. And to answer those who have criticized my questions and concerns, I am troubled when there is insider selling in any of the stocks I own. Also, I don't "short" any stocks -- over the years the market has increased in value, so why try to fight it -- it's a lot easier to swim with the tide than against it. And, I ALWAYS look for answers to anything negative re stocks I own -- the positives take care of themselves. At least I now have a pretty good idea of what ASND will mean to us. A sincere thank you -- it's nice to know there are people like you who are not trying to read something negative into a question, or a concern, or a request, that just isn't there. If you can answer the same questions re PMCS and MRVC, I would really appreciate it. To answer your question re DELL, imo their success has come as a result of excellent custom-building, quality and service, and the Streets anticipation of a larger and larger market share. All the best, Drake
