Thanks a lot, Mr. D. Somehow DGIV investors, myself included, lost sight of some important things. One of them is that if we are indeed long on DGIV, as we say we are, then we should not be trying to micromanage each and every event that may or may not happen with the company. That raises expectations to an unreasonable level, then when things don't occur as predicted, it leads to disappointment and nervous hands. If we're long, we're long, period. It's fine to make predictions, make guesses, or whatever, as long as we all understand that is all it is. We all have reasons for investing in a particular company, and with emerging technology companies those reasons are based on future potential, not on the past. So to say that I invest in DGIV because I think they will go NASDAQ, will be in on the ground floor of international VoIP telephony, have and willl establish cooperative contracts with international telcos, and will become attractive to suitors, is just a statement of my reasons for investing. It is not a prediction, and I do not associate dates with this. It may not even happen, which is why this is a high risk high payoff investment and not a treasury bond. But so far DGIV appears to be on track, even ahead of track, with my expectations. It's just that sometimes I raise my expectations by rumors that then turn out to not happen, but that is my own fault. I am content knowing that the company is moving forward, and all I ask is that periodically we be informed through news releases and as to the status of the full reporting and nasdaq plans. They have been doing this, so I have no complaints there. I am long on DGIV, but I am not long on any non-reporting company, and look forward to that being accomplished in the near term. As far as baby sitting, I agree with that comment. As I have said endlessly in the past, I only invest my own money, and that is hard enough for me to do. If anyone does not like what DGIV is doing, or how it is doing it, they have total control over their buy/sell, the same as you or I.
