Paul....listen please....read most of your posts and know you've done some research. I for one don't consider what you're doing "bashing". It's constructive criticism for the most part. Guess what? This stock was hyped up too much and rose too fast...and the faster it rose the more it got hyped. So those of us who were a part of all that share the blame together. Lessons learned. But hey guess what? I've got 3,000 shares at 7.75 and 2,000 shares at various other prices. I'm an E-6 in the greatest Navy in the World with a family of four and I can tell ya this has been painful to watch, but not entirely a surprise. Growing pains. I have no doubt this company is HEAVILY involved....and INTERNATIONALLY involved, in telecommunications technologies which are springing up around the Internet. Me and the FAITHFUL here have never lost sight of that. Is Lucent doing it, AT&T, MCI, GTE? YOU BETCHA! What I want you to realize is the core faithful will ride this sucker down to 50 cents again I swear to God....because it's NOT a boiler room printing paper! My own DD confirms it. Paul....y'know what stock sector outperformed ALL others in the twelve month period ending 1 MAY? Beat the DJIA, S&P, Russell, EVERYTHING??? OTC Telecommunications! (But you KNEW that, didn't you)? Up over 80 percent. And an investment in DGIV in February 98? As of Friday you'd be up 550 percent. In a year or so we'll see who was right and who was wrong...lots of hate and discontent to wash out of here. But the FAITHFUL WILL NEVER BE BROKEN! WILL NEVER FALTER! It just seems like the right thing to do....so keep on posting and I'll keep on learning. Nothing out there has swayed me so far..... Warmest Regards, Gordo (Hawaii's fun man....you'd like it out here in paradise)....ciao
