When James Harold Alton speaks, people listen. (At least they should, if they have any brains at all.) Thanks for the update, James. George E.

James, I thank you too for all your time and effort here. Just so you know, DAMIEN gets this wacked out look in his eye when he reads your posts. He may be a foul little demon, but he's smart enough to see your erudite style...and hates the possibility of his being vaporized. So......keep writing! Onward, George

James, Even though the TWC JV press release came out on just an LOI, I will share this with you. Joe mentioned to me some time ago that he would never issue a press release on an LOI again unless he was 95% sure the deal would get done. As you remember, we had several LOI's that were eventually turned down by the company for one reason or another. Those only create more questions by enquiring minds. When LOCUS and the JV deals are closed we might see a pop in the price but I for one have resigned myself to a trading range of $1.50 to $3.00 until October when Joe makes the final decision. Best Regards

James, I really enjoy reading your DD and respect your intellegence. Was wondering what are your thoughts on why we are unable to attract more demand or enough demand to offset the continued on-slot of selling? I would think the people in the know around these deals would be buying and the word would have gotten out by now? The annual meeting and press releases seem to be discounted? Is it because of the expense and uncertainty associated with cyberfax and europe? What's your opinion? I've been long through several price increases, to only see us fall right back down. My conclusion, is that we simply have a large amount of traders in comparison to investors. Everytime we get close to a fair market value, it seems to cause an over bought signal and the traders take us back down? I also have difficulty understanding the lack of demand for our stock given valuations like SMTK? Are investors scared of all the talk about selling the company? I know that when we started hearing this talk, the goal was to be sold by June. Do they perceive this as hype? Or do you think they are skeptical of earnings being able to keep pace with dilution? Why are shares issued to company officals despite the lack of price performance? Is it based more on market capitalization? I know the fundamentals continue to improve in our eyes, but obviously this is not how the market sees it. Or am I mistaken and we are being manipulated? I'm just trying to understand how others are rationalizing what seems to be a very complex issue. Something just doesn't add-up? Just think of the "smart" money of about 100,000 shares that were bought at $2.75. Think they feel burned? I think this is the type of activity that scares away INVESTORS. Most likely I'm a putz and that was MM trading amongst themselves to only short us back down? Sorry for the negativity, but I'm only trying to understand what everybody else is thinking. Surely, these thoughts go through other shareholders minds.
