Joe: Hey, asshole!! What the F@#@ are you talking about now!! Anytime you want to see who screwed up just look in the mirror. As usual, you try to blame anyone and everyone but yourself. You are a whiner, crook and crybaby. And, one more thing, just because I believe you have been and are a disaster for ASTG and it's shareholders DOES NOT mean I think, ipso facto, that JV is a god damned bit better--in fact, just the opposite is true. He's your boy and you gave him 600,000 shares just to keep him around and don't you forget it, asshole!! But, in typical JL style, you try to throw shit around in the hope that some of it sticks to take away heat from yourself. You are a lying criminal and the sooner you are in prison where you belong the better. January 9, 1999, the day you are supposed to report for commencement of your prison term, can't come soon enough for me. Wes

Joe: Mouthing off? OK. Here is some "mouthing off" from the SEC. It is an excerpt of a message from the SEC to another ASTG watcher which was sent to me. It is too good not to share with everyone. OH, you are such a good guy!! Talk about keeping your mouth shut--YOU should learn that lesson and really take it to heart.
