Mr. Mitchell, I was surprised to see that you and Cavalry know each other, could you explain your relationship to Cavalry to the shareholders in this company. Thanks Mr. Mitchell Recall that this was Cavalry's big pick. He has publicly stated here that he had urged Big Dog to put it in his newsletter. Cavalry has maintained from day 1 that his main reason for picking AZNT was the "airtight" short squeeze they had perfected. It couldn't fail because they had hired professional shortbusters, gotten the approval of the SEC and NASD, obtained a court order on the bad guys, and had a real judge on their staff. But, best of all, D-day was today, Monday, and there was no possible way it could be delayed. OK, today is here. OK, I admitted before I have no experience judging short squeezes, but the action today sure doesn't look like one. Anyway, unlike you Graystone, I post my real name and address and anyone who calls directory assistance can easily get my number. In fact, I often give people my number and urge them to call. I find that people who express themselves poorly in print often sound quite coherent by voice. You can also accomplish more in five minutes on the phone than in five hours of e-mailing back and forth and those of us that actually work during the day don't have unlimited time for cat and mouse games. Sure there is a huge downside to my approach: threats, people try to use you, etc. So what. As I said, I gather information, identify the source of said info as best I can, and let the reader make up their own mind. I went on record and predicted no squeeze today. Cavalry is on record as saying he'll start pointing fingers if there's no short squeeze. He comes across by phone as someone who sincerely believes hook, line and sinker what Bgtit has been saying here. I suppose we'll learn a lot about his character on how he deals with Bgtit here. Lastly, I suggest you look at this story as a trial. The prosecution has spoken. The company indeed wanted to get their story out and I was eager to hear it. You see, because I don't care about the stock price I also don't care if I am used to further someone's agenda. Again, I always strive to cite my source and let others draw their own conclusions. After all, you can't refute what you can't clearly identify. Now comes the defense's turn. Now you may hear evidence that checks allegedly were written from sale of restricted stock from offshore accounts made payable to Mike Sylver's wife. You may hear evidence that Mike's father, Gary, was the one who paid off John Fasano in stock. Again, I may be being used by the "other side" here, but, you see, I'm a willing participant because I want to "solve" this mystery. Don't you? Stay tuned... things are about to get interesting. - Jeff
