ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP FOLKS: I've got some explaining to do.

After dgivinvestor's most recent appearance on the thread (Friday, July
31st), I sent him a PM, hoping to use my lack of reputation on SI, to get
behind the lines, and figure out his motives. Well, for what its worth
folks, I believe I have exposed them. Here goes:

Take note that when larry erupted on the thread last Friday, besides a few
flames, his message was that now he was back to help get the share price
rallying. "Who does he think he is?" you ask. Well, he has stated
numerous times on the thread before that he use to be a partner in DGIV,
that he is one of the largest shareholders, and that he has an MBA in
marketing. Given these three things, I expressed some allegiance towards
him, and began probing for some explanations, in hopes of figuring out why
this guy, who seems to have his entire life wrapped up in dgiv, likes this
stock so much, and why he acts the way he does on the thread.

Soon after I began to ask more specific questions of him, larry didn't want
my inquiries anymore, and so he told me he was busy and stopped responding
to them. This still left me wondering, "why has this guy allowed himself
to have this image?" My conclusion: money, it had to be money. I
remembered that on Friday he said he was back to get the share price moving
upward and knew that this would mean money for him. Bingo, I thought, but
the question remained, how is dgivinvestor going to increase the demand for
shares?

Without my being able to ascertain the answer to this question, trading
resumed on Monday. I sat down in front of my computer for the first time
that day at about a half hour before trading expired, only to discover we
were up 15% on the day with abnormal volume and no news. So, what caused
the increase? Was it dgivinvestor's appearance on the thread, bringing in
anticipation buying, proving that some do assign significance to his posts?
Or was it just a coincidence? Maybe we rallied because it was the first
day of trading in August... some DGIV longs could have gotten paid
recently, so they decided to accumulate. No one knows for sure.

As I sat before my computer just before the closing bell, I began to go
through the posts on our thread. After getting through all of them, I was
surprised to see that larry had not posted once all day... very peculiar
indeed, given his persistence on Friday. Next, I checked my e-mail, and to
my surprise, there was a message from him regarding his SI status.

Folks, dgivinvestor got suspended from SI after his actions on Friday
night, apparently for exceeding the number of posts allowed in a specific
time frame, as defined by SI TOS. That is why he is not returning your
PM's, and that is why he has not posted since.

Through e-mail, larry and I have been chatting. Since our conversations, I
have formed my own opinion about him, of which I am entitled to. Now,
assuming that dgivinvestor's posts deserve merit (which, IMO, they do), the
answer to the above question concerning a rally in share price caused by
larry's words and actions, becomes more obvious. He intended to do it just
like anyone else on SI that has a following (be it a public following,
lurker following, or combination thereof). Similar to other informed
thread leaders across the SI boards, in an effort to encourage anticipation
buying, Larry intended to post subtle allusions as to what he thought might
be the reason for the lack of news lately.

Most of you would call this "hype", I don't. To me, its all a matter of
perspective. You folks have made it clear that you use to like hype, but
now you don't, because you think its what led to the decline in share price
from $8 to $2.50. Well, I agree, in general, it does not benefit the longs
when others buy on speculation and sell on news. But, what if that news is
of such great magnitude, that only a fool would sell after reading it?
What happens if the news is so extraordinary, that those who bought in
anticipation of it, decide to hold their dgiv shares in search of growth
and subsequent greater returns?

I'll tell you what I think happens. I think you end up with a smaller
float, and a higher base to spring off of when the news comes out; two good
things in my book.

And so, due to the fact that I believe larry's conclusions about why dgiv
may have been keeping a lid on things lately, and because I think the
potential reason for withholding news is of tremendous nature, I am
advising anyone who is willing to listen that they should immediately
consider buying (more) dgiv.

Having said all that, I would like to expand on my post from earlier this
week regarding the initials C.A.N. Logically, there must be some
justification as to why this viable company would just stop releasing
information. Let's assume that dgiv's long awaited news is being released
strategically, and that it may contain more than one major issue. "Why
more than one issue?" you ask. Well, Jimmy has not stopped working, and
its been approximately seven weeks since the last PR. IMO, there's no way
that the signed contract with Germany is the last deal that Jimmy has
closed. Besides, common sense implies that when you combine good news,
with even greater news, the release becomes a more powerful price mover.


Given the above reasoning, I believe that to create a frenzy of buying, the
strategic plan is to simultaneously announce a significant Contract(s), a
major Acquisition, and a Nasdaq listing.

Bottom line: If you believe that the conclusions I've drawn from the
opinions that dgivinvestor has shared with me explains why Digitcom has
been lacking news of late, buy (more) now, while we remain at these
ridiculously low levels.

Take it for what its worth folks, you decide.

Sorry so long, thanks for listening,
~protege

BTW, on Monday, during AM trading, I will be announcing when I think dgiv
will be releasing news. No, I do not mean date and time. I am referring
to the event that I think will trigger the news release we have all been
waiting for.
