Mr. KLAW: It may do you well to read once again the official news release concerning the Motorola "deal." Their use of the English language was quite explicit. The reality of the message, which may have gotten through some and thus the lackluster stock performance, is that it was agreed that a proposal would be made to a division of Motorola to consider the ALYA system. We do not know if this is a proposal unique to ALYA's product or if ALYA is in competition with one or more other security systems. We don't even know if Motorola is even looking to make such an installation or just entertaining the proposal as a courtesy to one of their customers. Simple common sense, not intricate analysis, tells you that had there truly been something concrete to the news release there is no way in the world the stock would have reacted the way it has. Try one more simple exercise. Go back to my first post in June, '98, I believe and putting aside your preconceived opinion of ALYA, read the questions I have asked of the company. Now look at the releases from the company, not explanations from other posters, see if any of my questions were answered directly. Now look at the behavior of the stock each time a "positive" news announcement was released. Do you see any pattern. Note also that all of the attacks on my comments and questions are of a personal nature which question motive. None respond to the question with any factual information. I believe one favorite response is that I have proven to be a liar. Yet the audited statement that we do have only supports my contention that in ALYA you have a company that fiscally is on the rocks and even today lives from hand to mouth on private placements which you as shareholder of consequence are completely jn the dark. For a while we had a negative psychology in the market place to use as a straw man but with one of the most dynamic recoveries in the market this stock has done nothing but make new lows. Something does not add up and it is not the questions that I ask that drives this stock's price down. There are valid reasons why the signs at railroad crossings flash warning lights when danger is approaching and read Stop - Look - Listen. Such a practice is called for when people put their hard earned money on the line in OTC-BB stocks. For every needle in the haystack there are tons of plain straw. I know it is difficult for some to accept but there are people like myself who are, by experience and qualification, able to discern fact from fiction and have chosen to do so whenever we come across investment or speculation situations that present themselves as being too good to be true. The open forum of the internet message boards and SI in particular give many with ulterior motives the opportunity to spread information that often has little to do with truth. It is enticing enough to encourage those who for whatever personal reasons to choose to grasp on to that information as almost being equal to the gospel. Even when confronted with information which sharply differs from what they believe, rather than seriously investigate independently people sling accusations of collusion, manipulation and worse. That is not to say that in the OTC-BBmarket place there are not unscrupulous brokers and MM's. We know there certainly are. We also know from recent SEC and NASDAQ investigations that these threads have been used by unsavory characters to drive the price of certain securities down through the use of half truths and worse. But after a while it is not too difficult to uncover that type of hyperbole. What is far more difficult a challenge is to separate the just a hint of truth from the real story where there is enough fact to stir the emotions to the point where it becomes almost impossible to accept any challenge to the original concept and all questions take on the act of destroying a market for a particular stock. I certainly do not take any particular pleasure in being right when a situation I come across expecting to become an investor turns out to be more than just an overpriced speculation in which many innocent people suffer significant financial loss. The truth be told the history of the OTC-BB market runs a close second to the lottery as being the place for the small or novice investor to strike it rich. The odds are stacked against you and that is why without some honest independent means to investigate claims the players in this game are at a distinct disadvantage. Bets of luck.
