Josef: You have again restated, "I have stated here repeatedly that I have never had ANY position in PINC - long or short - PERIOD! Should my grave doubts regarding this company be proven wrong, I may choose to go long..." and you have also stated, "I have absolutely NO intention of contacting the company..." Yet why would you as a potential investor try to assuage your "grave doubts" by NOT contacting the company and its partners directly yourself with YOUR questions. Why would you want to obtain answers "second hand"? Why would you wait for others to get answers for you? From others who you know nothing about and therefore can't rely on. Trying to point out to others questions you feel should be asked, and wondering why others haven't asked these questions as a demonstration of how one should make investment decisions is more than a bit supercilious (not the least bit "humble"). Obviously investors should raise questions. The questions you raise are legitimate. However, instead of seeking answers to your questions, you attempt to infer and not so subtlety imply that the company is illegitimate. Rather than stand by your inferences with actions that would truly protect the interest of investors against illicit activities, you defer and equivocate. Small start-ups should spend their time and energies building their company's businesses. Small start-ups have to be in operation for a period of time before they generate records that they can report. Investors who invest in non-reporting companies should obviously recognize the risks associated with such investments. Such haughty individuals who persist for MONTHS without utilizing the proper channels to report what they perceive to be illegal activities are completely full of $h*t. True potential investors, who haven't been able to have their questions satisfactorily answered by other investors or by the company and its partners, choose not to invest and move onto other investment opportunities of which there are many other such opportunities. Haughty, arrogant individuals persist when they have ulterior motives. And you, contrary to your dogged proclamations, are the antithesis of humility. ztect
