I've stated the terms...if you want to vote, please do so. The public case has pretty much already been debated here in the past and there's no need to do that again. I would just really like to get a feel for the overall opinion of those who care one way or the other. I didn't guarantee I would go away regardless of the vote, but there is a good chance I would if the vote is lopsided in that favor. I will report the results of the voting next Wednesday, as stated. The votes will be exactly as received. If you don't believe me, that's your problem. Don't forget to vote for Jimbo to STAY or GO techstocks.com Jimbo.

EL..RE the toning down the internet hype on CNBC. I think they are getting some heat after the Avtel Communications Inc. fiasco (AVCO) a week or so ago. Remember they mentioned them with about a half hour to go to the close and they shot up from $8 to $32? Idiots all over the country pulled the trigger on just the mention. The next day the the stock did not even open. When it did open, it opened at $3. That is how crazy things are with the internet junk but I think today was a turning point to that nonsense. I hope so.
