good morning! Kolos: pardon my lack response to you on the 5th. i was unwilling to go on a fishing expedition at the time, and will be the first to admit i am a very poor researcher! It seems Matt acted with good foresight when he created the WOTD thread, and also that SI is quite a useful tool for Shareholders! Much information has been exchanged already on the Knightsbridge Corp. (KBDG) thread you created. I think you'll agree that "Milk" is one dead on sharp person! One thing that may help you here is establishing a "LURKER POST system" like on the cvia thread. Give readers who are "not" members of Silicon Investor the ability to e-mail you (announce your e-mail address in a post here) so they too can express their ideas. Some valuable information may enter your thread rather quickly! (That "CVIA Thread" has been quite an experience and the shareholders have steadily done many creative things imo! I think you will be able to see that happen here as well with the many WOTD Shareholders.) I'm sure Matt will be popping in to say hello and wish you the best. His good spirit allows him to do many unusual things here on SI! (For example, drafting me into a friendly stock picking contest VS. another young SI member named Daniel. Perhaps you would like to join Matt's teem too. an Announcement to Matt: Hi Matt! ..yep, i'll join your teem! it should be very spicy. and i wouldn't want to miss out on the updates and progress..i'll try my best not to disappoint you..."yikes!"...Hey, Kolos? do you have $460,000? ...i want to make some use of matt's picks! Whoops!...that was a joke! I promise, i'll get a job instead for that next monday. -g- So e-mail or "PM" Matt if you want to join the teem, Kolos. There is a dead line, but i think it's been extended. I'm looking forward to some good information from that, myself -as well as the future posts on this thread of yours. Dave
