With all due respect Scot, I do not require your permission to post or not post, or contact or not contact DGIV, any more than I require "someone" else's permission to speak or not speak to SOTM. I was not the only person who wanted to verify once and for all whether or not the individual in question had any connections with DGIV. I've done that and now I'm done. I don't believe it merits any outrage, but I'll not try to control how you feel. I've been here a few months myself and I've seen it all. I've not said anything here on the matter until now. I was in fact advised by another thread member to share my findings. I perhaps could have left out the name of the person I contacted at DGIV, but then it may have appeared I was being unnecessarily "mysterious" as well. And it may have still left some room for doubt. To me, the issue is now ended. And I am completely free to ignore any subsequent posts from you know who. I think others will be just as free now due to my "report." I for one don't believe we can know all the facts just from reading what someone says here. In this case I felt I needed verification so there could be closure. The person I contacted at DGIV did not have a problem answering the questions I asked. I don't think you need to take it upon yourself to protect the DGIV officers. If I've made a mistake in contacting them with this issue, at least I've shared that mistake and in so doing have reduced the likelihood that others will repeat it. I give myself at least a point for that. I will be ceasing and desisting, since I completed what I set out to do. I expect that will meet with your approval. --dch

I'm reading the thread late tonight, and I see the issue has been resolved, but I'd also like to speak up ex post facto in Dedrick's behalf. dgivinvestor overstepped his bounds as a poster to include officials of Digitcom last week when you were not posting Scottoo, and had everyone in an uproar again. Dedrick's call to Roger didn't involve the company's inside business, but was more of a benign denial on his part of any involvement with this poster. It was totally relevant to the thread, breached no confidential discussions, and did no harm to the company at all, IMHO. I'm glad you apologized a few posts later. Chip

Good Morning Scottoo, When Dedrick shared this information with me, I urged him to also share it on the thread. I did this after consulting with someone else with whom I have great respect. I felt at the time (and still do) that the information presented by Dedrick is of importance. The other person confirmed my thoughts and that I was not acting from feelings of anger or spite for dgivinvestor. Though unsolicited, both of us reacted by suggesting that a post to the thread was in order. I disagree that pursuing this information was a waste of either Roger's or Dedrick's time. I could go on at length about the reasons, but it boils down to 2 things... 1) If the company indeed has a relationship with dgivinvestor as is claimed by him, that relationship bears further investigation. The idea that the company would use an individual investor as a spokesperson is outrageous and stinks of rotting flesh... a sign if you will, that something is very, very wrong... even in the BB world. I for one, want to know if such a relationship exists and understand fully the nature of that relationship. I cannot imagine how that could be construed as a positive thing for the company and would significantly alter my opinion of DGIV it it were to be true. 2) I firmly believe that the information that gets posted to this thread reaches those that would comprise a majority position in the stock and if not a majority, then a significant minority position. I have no facts to back this up... just a gut feeling. However, if it is true, the things that are posted here will have an impact on how the company is perceived by those holding a great many shares; therefore, impacting the price of the stock. If there is a poster here that represents themself as someone that has a close relationship with the management of the company, their words will have more sway with the folks that read this board. If that relationship does not exist, both the company and the other stocholders would want that exposed, IMO. Scottoo, I sincerely believe that dgivinvestor means well, but there is something else going on with that man. I would sincerely hate to see folks base any decisions they make about this stock, positive or negative, based upon his words. Certainly, we have his old posts to guide us in judging his behavior, but there are many new folks that may not have gone through the old sections of the thread or have only perused the info thread. They will not know about our history with dgivinvestor. Because we have agreed to "give him another chance" and not attack him, it may be construed as tacit approval for what he posts... and THAT is something I would hate to see... particularly now. No, I do not believe it was in any way a waste of Roger's time for Dedrick to ask such questions. Nor do I believe that it was a problem for him to post the information to the thread. He did it in a very nice, non inflammatory manner... very classy. I would hope I could do as well in such a circumstance. Thank you Dedrick. I for one appreciate it. (I apologize for not posting earlier, but they changhed my internet access phone number yesterday and didn't bother leting us know until this morning.) Lazarus, just loving my provider right now :-)
