Good posts Clark. Thanks for the good explanations. Between all these ITU, SETI and other standards bodies, there are a LOT of hangers on. The most important issue for them is to keep the meetings coming. They need lots of negotiations. Lots of jamborees, minutes, folders full of 'delete obscure and arcane wording in clause 14a and replace with more obscure and prolix wording', votes on each of the 314 changes and nonsense from dawn to dusk. Then dinner, hotels, drinks, puffery and big noting to round it all off. Meanwhile, Limtex will be preparing a Welcome Home Q! party!quote.yahoo.com The Natural Home in the 40s! What a curse. Nevertheless, I'm with Jon and John Scurci. To be out of Q! at such a time seems crazy. Why spend the time figuring out what it's worth if we don't back our ideas with our money? Just because others sell their shares at what we think is a low price, doesn't mean we should agree. Rajala and many others are 'waiting and seeing' on the outcome of 3G, the Texas lawsuit outcome and the 1Q report on pre Xmas sales. If things look good, it will be easy to miss the bargains. Who will sell at low prices then? Mqurice PS: I see DaveMG has started the Welcome Home party without Limtex. Re Tero's comments, here's the url:debry.com He might get jumpy about ignoring copyright - he wants clicks on debry! He wants a Teroist Global Brand - can't have it diluted by SI Q! crowd. Though I heard Nokia and others think IP should be given away so we are all on a level playing field, with equal market access. We should let the market decide. How does it feel Tero? Still think Q! shouldn't set their own extorquerationate price?
