T.R., I'm off for my Christmas break. I'll talk at ya as soon as I get settled in at the cabin. Nice to see the price hold today. Below is a little news I found that should be a warning to bashers and a "Good News" situation for many start up Co's. (IMO) Much Christmas cheer and a Happy New Year ! Byter "AMERICAN ECO AND ITS EXECUTIVES AWARDED $8.3 MILLION FROM INTERNET LIBEL SUIT. "AMERICAN ECO CORPORATION announced today (12/15/98) that it had been awarded US$500,000 in punitive damages and US$75,000 in direct damages in its lawsuit against an individual who hid behind an Internet posting alias as "PMKK1". The judgment in favor of American Eco was for libel and slander through false Web and bulletin board postings about the Company and its executives. American Eco claimed that the falsehoods circulated on the Internet had damaged its reputation with the investment community and caused investors to short its publicly traded shares by creating doubt about statements made by American Eco management. "In addition, Mr. David Norris, former CFO of American Eco, was awarded $5.0 million in punitive and $2.75 million in direct damages in the same lawsuit against the individual operating under the alias "PMKK1", for untrue allegations concerning Mr. Norris' executive history, which were posted on the Internet, resulting in his suspension from his position. "American Eco Chairman & CEO Michael E. McGinnis stated, "American Eco will vigorously pursue untrue statements, rumors and attacks on its executives on the Internet, and intends to enforce this judgment within the full extent of collection. The Company intends to continue to take action against other individuals who use the Internet to post anonymous and false statements."
