If you think my post to bub was offensive, you don't know me very well. I would call it polite, considering the nattering I was responding to. M. and welcome to the thread!

Bub's question is a good one. However, this topic has been discussed MANY times on this thread (about insider sales) and has been answered many times, to most people's satisfaction. Most recently, post #248 answered this question. Just this week. What is frustrating to most of the people who have been on this and other FNTN threads on SI for a long time is that people seem to ask the same questions without having read any prior messages on the thread. This same thing happens on just about every thread. The messages on this thread are very informative and will provide a good basis for answering questions and also provide a good starting point for starting discussions.

I agree with you, NOS. As I said in a previous post back in the old thread (which was abandoned for dubious reasons) and I quote: "All we should really care for is this: does FNTN offer something that cannot be found elsewhere? If so, can it survive on its own before some of the big guys come in to take their niche away from them? Now, why do I say this? Simple. An intranet based product is basically a system composed of hardware and software repurposed to fulfill a particular service. The only way a company can be really exclusive in this regard is if the hardware and/or software it owns is proprietary. If it isn't, and the only edge it has is developing a service concept before anyone else, it won't take long before competitors (perhaps armed with better hardware and software resources as well as financial assets) come into the picture. In the case of FNTN, I'm still not sure of exactly what would make them any different to anyone else out there (public or private). Apparently, their niche is being carved on a product offering which is, by no means, hard to match or beat by other companies. FNTN seems to be banking on becoming the first ones to offer such a service. Sometimes that'll be enough to guarantee success. It all depends on how solid a client base they manage to build before others jump into the fray." As of today, Friday the 1oth of July, FNTN's outlook sure doesn't look any better.
