GARY, When did you call (not write) the company last? Call them with all of your difficult questions and report back to the thread. You accuse us of having blinders on. We are not stupid people. We understood the risk then as we do now. By being positive about a stock on a forum like this may cause some to jump in without doing their own DD but that would not be our fault. This is a highly speculative stock but the risk reward may be worth taking the risk. It is only my opinion. You can disagree with my opinion or Jeff's, or Ted's or my dead aunt Sue, but you can not tell anyone that our opinions are wrong or misleading as they are just opinions. We are not creating misinformation. For the company's sake, I hope no one there is. You lead the league in calling people names. You write intelligently enough so I suggest you do not hurt your own credibility by stooping to calling everyone a fascist. Your thoughts, even though they differ, are welcomed but please stop labeling people with name calling. Jeff, I, and others are just defending ourselves from your name calling and sharing another side of the story. That is not intolerance. Below are two posts you made about a company. If someone read your posts and invested would you be to blame for him/her losing money. I do not think so. You were just sharing your opinions about the company. Someone could accuse you of the same thing you are accusing me and others of doing (with a company that has seen it's share of trouble) but I sincerely believe you expect good things from TFRY and are just stating your opinion. >>>A post of yours from today: To: Janice Shell (1683 ) From: Gary s Gilbert Saturday, Oct 3 1998 7:47PM ET Reply # of 1684 I have been a TFRY holder for several years, indeed .12 pre split. It's been a long haul and I still see promise, with several grains of salt. Francis aka Hexy on AOL remembers me as lotec. In any case don't dismiss the stock detective out of hand. many folks have been taken in by penny stock claims and their list of cautions are useful. I dont see TFRY in their category however, as they have a product, a specific focus, have not hyper-expanded nor linked with unrelated companies. Kelly is an engineer at heart, probably a perfectionist, and one can question several of his actions, yet I feel he really believes this machine can find a niche in places the fast food market simply does not reach conveniently. A post of yours from 1997: To: Ahmed Youssef (902 ) From: Gary s Gilbert Saturday, Aug 30 1997 8:08PM ET Reply # of 1684 in addition to being a 1 for 20 split the stock has never been 'listed', it is simply traded through the bulletin board which is a non-regulated entity with no relation to nasdaq or nasdaq small cap. personally i am happy about the drop, as it makes an additional but intriquing; i paid .09 for my shares, 23,ooo, and am at a loss position, hence this is 'play money' and there is considerable potential particularly overseas. the tfry machine is superior to the ore-ida design in every respect.
