As with all stocks in this arena, I hear ticking. And Larson gives me the creeps (snake oil salesman). Is THAT what he used to make his hair stay in place and shiny??? :-) (Sorry, couldn't resist that one...he does look like a snake oil salesman. But a DAMN good one though!!!) Hey, you guys!!! Never missed a quarter...ALWAYS beat estimates by at least $0.01 for the past 20 quarters!!! I'm more willing to bet on Billy Boy at this point...but I guess I'm a fool for snake oil salesman.... <VBG>

Edwarda and Joanna, while there may be no comparison, sometimes NETA reminds of Cendant(CD). Lots of acquisitions, and possibly some accounting irregularities, at least with CD and not yet with NETA. It would be great if we had an accountant come on to this thread to scrutinize the next earnings release. Yet, I'm in for the ride. A few years from now it would be great to see NETA sitting on a couple billion in cash along with little or no debt. It is certainly possible. Regards, Marty
