Hooper, i didn't mean to discourage you.....only to point out some of the risks involved with this company, the industry... and to illuminate points that i thought need to be taken into consideration regarding HST technology. I am no authority on their product and can only repeat what those who i rely on for info tell me.... and there is nothing to guarantee that they are right... There are people on this board that are much more familiar with the company than I am, and perhaps more importantly, they have spent some time getting to know management, and they seem pretty enthused. It is my nature to play devil's advocate and to poke as many holes in a seemingly good argument as I can, that way... i hope to uncover all the problems that would make me later say... "I should've seen it coming"... (a little paranoia never hurt anyone) ... HST has some great stuff, and there is definitely potential (I wouldn't be on this board if some preliminary research didn't lead me to believe it was worth checking out)... But I just think that, at this point, there are many questions that need answering and many pieces of the puzzle that are still missing ... From my point of view, as an investor, my money wouldn't be on the table, but I'd be keeping an eye on the situation closely .... to see if things are progressing inline with what i would like to see... You'd be surprised what you can find out with some digging...and a few hours on the phone (especially if you can stand to be a little cagey) .. So in the end, if my comments have made you a little nervous about HST, well then I think that's a good thing... Cause it's usually when your sure that you've struck gold that the rug gets pulled out from under you..... It all comes down to risk and reward... i like lots of reward and little risk.... HST could definitely bring the reward, but the risk factor is too high for me at this point.... On a final note, I appreciate all the info the people on the board have been kind enough to share with me... thanks very much for your help and I am extremely impressed with the quality of the research .... and the time "y'all" have spent on this... I wish you guys the best of luck on HST. I'm gonna shut up now... cause Hooper made me feel guilty :( Have a good night .... no sleep for me.. I've got work to do....(and yes....... it is 1:45 in @#$%!'n morning) Enam
