Jayne When you say "ALL" Do not include me. I haven't trusted any of you since the first week that I ask for a shareholders meeting a very vvery long time ago, and I am still waiting. Where were your comments, back when all was well, with the Lanza family? Maybe you should read some of your own threads. The whole thing here is that I haven/t lost any money, I am holding free and clear, it's just the fact that a dam bunch of clowns have chose to run a good company into the ground. I hope all concerned with this one, get their @ss burnt off. just the opinion of a stockholder waiting for the rope to tighten. Jack

Wes & Guys, Well it looks like the Vigliarolo Fan Club may lose a few members with the news that Airstar is now entering into the courts with its finale of Bankruptcy! Isn't that great guys-----you supported the management and I hate to break the news to you but: " I told you so!" So, just remember when you pull those shares out of your desk drawers-------remember the names you called me, Joe Lanza and Mario Lanza. We were the crooks, liars, thieves and all of those other wonderful names you came up with. And Vigliarolo, Grauer and Casey were the good guys who literally drained your company of all the money and left you with what? Although I didn't always agree with Joe Lanza, I do know that he wanted this company to work for "ALL THE SHAREHOLDERS!" Furthermore, he would have turned this company around if he had received your support. When there were companies willing to step in and take this over, all of you sided with Vigliarolo. When you were told checks were being written for personal expenses, you chose not to believe. If you should of believed anyone, it should of been me! This company could have gone somewhere positive, but OH NO, why believe Jayne Lanza! I never liked Vigliarolo from day one, and now all of you know why!! But then again, why listen to a woman, right? What would she know!! Do you realize how much of an idiot you sound like? You are making absolutely no sense, just like your husband. Are you implying that there is something we could of done to prevent this? You're a fool. Unfortunately, you made an error that may cost you your entire investment. Could you explain exactly what that error was? Oh, since we all think you and your husband are fools and crooks...that's why the company went bankrupt? Makes a lot of sense. Funny thing is, Profit Magazine is still in business and growing everyday. To bad you didn't invest in that company!!!!!! It has good management! Jayne Lanza Whatever.

Jayne & All: Personally, I am going to refrain from commenting on ASTG's Chapter 11 filing or anything else about the company until more information is available. However, I did forward your post to ASTG and received the following from Dal Grauer. You, and everyone else, can evaluate it's merits or demerits. Wes ______________________________________________________ Wes, To answer Jayne's points as they appear: This filing is not ASTG's "finale," rather it is a move to make it a healthier corporation. The directors have not drained money from the company. I know that at this point you only have our word for this, but this kind of thing will come out in the court, I would think, and certainly will in the 10K. All the money-draining was done before we left Joe Lanza's office and terminated our relationship with him. JL did not have a prospect with the money to "step in and turn this company around." Whenever we asked for a proposal, there was never one forthcoming. Andy Proctor finally did get a proposal out of one outfit and he agreed with us that it wasn't viable, mainly because there was no willingness to put up money, which is what this company needed to solve its problems. Tha accusation that JV and/or any any of us were writing checks for personal expenses is an old one and long since proven false. Again, I think the question of who was draining what will be investigated by the court. JL knows that this filing will put his bogus claims 'way back on the back burner. We now will not have to spend the lawyer's fees to prosecute our suit against JL—the court will make the settlement decision and Joe knows that it is unlikely to find his claims legitimate. Naturally he is pissed about this. (By the way, this filing puts an automatic stay on all lawsuits, as I'm sure you know.) As for Profit Magazine being in business and "growing every day," I would love to see some paperwork on this. All the time I was in that office, Joe was subsidising Profit to the extent that it was a major drain on his resources. I know you've spoken to JV so I assume he's gone into a little detail as to why we've made this move. Bottom line is, it was done to protect ASTG and its shareholders. As we learn things, like time-frames, etc., we'll publish them. We are also preparing an in-depth statement about the Chapter 11—what led up to it, what's likely to happen, etc. Sorry I haven't answered your e-mail sooner. As you can imagine, we've been really busy, both inside and outside the office. Thanks, Dal
