Thanks for the note Fred. My condolences on your childrens' illness. Indeed, a painless and effective cure for cancer, once and for all, would be wonderful breakthrough. From an investment standpoint, I would also like to prevent pain and suffering. The longer I stay in this particular (ADOT) investment the more I worry about other technologies beating Biomoda to market, like Neovastat - worse things could happen - and/or this company running out of $$ and/or mismanaging the execution of a successful rollout. I'd prefer to see my fellow ADOT/Biomoda "Netizens" be rewarded for the money and time they have invested in following this start-up. Do you have hard time lines as to when Ari sees key milestones being achieved, and what are his key milestones - specifically the tests back East. Which by the way I had heard about through another poster about a month and a half ago, so I wasn't surprised to hear about it finally from Guy, but delays are frustrating. I'm starting to wonder if they have the appropriate marketeers in place. And my source suggests that Ari has some personal financial troubles of his own. It's hard to perform or negotiate with confidence when you're financially up the creek. This is a REAL BIG issue with me right now. And if GUY is the extent of our international licensing and marketing organization then the biggest challenges are ahead of this company. A 60 Minutes or 20/20 peice would help right about now. What about the Journal of American Medicine? A peice in their would be helpfull as well. But, ultimately, it's going to take some serious dollars and investment in sales and marketing to get the critical mass behind the procedure, assuming of course the test results are flawless.
