If PINCs CEO made a mistake at his last company, I figure he will be hard pressed to not do the same mistake, or I cant see him getting a third job. No it doesn't bother me that PINC has competitors, especially if the competitors are second best. I have never encouraged anyone to buy PINC, I just try to support a company I own stock in Yes "shills" bother me, but probably not as much as bashers. Do bashers bother you?. With all of the bashing you guys give PINC why is the stock doing so well? T

Jeff: Please clarify. According to the analyst report below a Mr.. Romanica is CEO. Not Mr. Forigo. Yet no information on Mr. Romanica is provided on the website. Forigo is an "officer" elected by the board of Directors. Who are the board of directors? This information also isn't provided on the website. Per William W. Davison's, Ph.D., Analyst report dated October 29, 1998 "...The company's management is headed by Mr. Dwight Romanica, the CEO. Recently named to the post, Mr. Romanica brings several years of entrepreneurial experience to Planet City. He will direct the worldwide distribution of the company's current Y2K PC product and selectively diversify and grow the company in areas that focus on technology..." William W. Davison, Ph.D., 7 Carlton Street, Fairfield, CT USA, Fax (203)256-1423, Email: wwd@aol.com Silvio Forigo (President/Director) is currently CEO and Director of Heritage Ventures Ltd. and has been a founding member since 1988. Jeff, have you or Josef contacted Mr. Davison to clarify who exactly the CEO is? Have you spoke with Davison regarding Mr. Forigo exact position in the company? Do you know anything about Romanica? Damning or affirming? Or even how old he is let alone any of his other qualifications? Davison's report doesn't really say very much about this person. To cover your butt from a legal point of view, before affirming another person's "opinions" and thus reaching damning ones of your own, you should contact as many potential sources of information as possible before coming to the conclusions you have hitherto made. I make this statement not as a rebuke of your actions nor as support of this company. I make this statement to make you aware that legally there is a very fine line between "opinion" and libel. Now as for PINC, have you tested their product on a non compliant y2K PC? Have you tested any of its competitors? If you haven't, how do you know whether their claims are spurious or not? Have you determined how much market share PINC's product has to gather to be profitable? Is the market as large as PINC's claims? How is PINC going to remain viable after the year 2000? Are its other acquisitions viable and worthwhile products? Is its strategy to establish itself with this y2K product going to catapult it to further and greater revenues with future products? Does PINC's marketing strategy of its product give it an advantage over any of its competitors? What exactly is PINC's relationship to HVL? Did PINC buy HVL's marketing rights for Canada, thus in essence take over HVL's core business? What do you know about PAR (Public Analysis & Review (PAR) is a program of the Investors Research Institute, Inc. (IRI), a non-profit membership organization for individual investors and others advocating higher standards of accessibility, scrutiny, and disclosure for public companies. Continuing quarterly coverage by an independent analyst is a requirement to meet the scrutiny requirements for the ‘Elite' Seal of Best Practices in Investor Relations standard described on the organization's website at investorsresearch.org) or any of the other companies profiled as part of this "independent research"? What do you know about the analysts who have analyzed PINC? Have you contacted either of them? Have they been compensated? Or do you just assert that they have been compensated? And do they hold shares in the company simply because they have done real DD and thus thought the company was a good investment? To be honest with you, I have more interest in purported "cyber vigilantes" than I do in this particularly company. I'm not sure if they are part of the problem or part of the solution. I do record and document their actions and am amazed that they stick their necks out in such a fashion, taking as much risk as they do without doing the basic rudiments of analysis. If this company is legitimate, I'd believe they'd spend more time and resources building their business rather than reacting to "message boards" as a means to maintain their share value. If the company isn't legitimate, and you truly spell a "rat", then your conspiracy theories and recognized patterns of irregularities are made manifest as much by luck as they are by diligent investigation. Oh well, only time will tell...........
