Wayne some back ground. Michael Bidder has been around the block. Richard has not. I have posted to many boards. All with positive results. KRY short Message 2975868 PGU short Message 3028669 MDI short Message 2849416 RYO short Message 2999420 A search of Richard turned up no history. Richard is new simply because this way I can not discredit him with his past posts. In six months it will be easy. Michael Bidder

Actually, I think that Michael's been pretty honest about his position in RYO, and not deceptive at all. I find his attacks on RYO kind of intriguing. When he first started, he was providing a lot of useful information in an effective manner. But in recent weeks, some of the posts have looked like "negative touting" rather than efforts to inform and exchange information. Of the two styles, I prefer the former. (This is all just my impression of Michael's recent posts. I don't know if others agree or not.) Just out of curiousity Michael, what's the motivation for your recent postings? Do you believe that your style has changed, or is it just in my mind? Are you trying to inform? Or are you posting because it entertains you? Do you believe that your posts (or anyone else's) will negatively affect the price of RYO? (If this is the motivation, do you actually believe that your time is better spent doing this than researching stocks? I don't know, and I'd genuinely be interested in your opinion.) (All these questions are real, not rhetorical, so I suppose I should put my answers.... I'm recently posting because I couldn't let the irony of that recent statement by you pass me by. I've continued because it's been entertaining, though I probably won't continue too much longer. I'm definitely not trying to hype the stock, because if anyone buys the stock based on recent statements I've made, they're an idiot. :) ) Richard
