Long But Important Message – Please Read Hello to all. Let me begin by saying that I am a long-time reader of the SI message boards and I just today became a full member so that I could post some of my thoughts to the BNEZ message boards. Furthermore, let me say that I believe in full disclosure. To that point, my god given name is not Joinvestor, but all of the other information in my profile is true. Also, I currently hold about 30,000 shares of BNEZ at an average price of .28784. Not a huge amount, but I plan to add up to 20,000 more shares if I can pick them up in the range of $0.15 - $0.16. The primary reason that I am so interested in this stock is that, based on some of my personal experiences, I believe it has incredible potential. Furthermore, I believe that those of us who are truly long on this stock and believe in the PMA product have the potential to make a significant impact on the sales of PMA and therefore the price of the stock. As you can see from by my profile, I work as a consultant. As such, I am constantly traveling and am always surrounded by strangers (airports, airplanes, rental car shuttles, etc). To that point, on my last couple of trips I have been trying to gauge the interest in PMA by conducting some informal and unscientific “focus group” type research. Here is what I have been doing. While sitting next to someone in an airport, airplane, etc. I start flipping through a copy of INC Magazine with an advertisement for PMA in it. After looking at the advertisement for a few minutes, I ask the person next to me what they think of the product. I of course “play dumb” and pretend that it is my first time coming across the product. What I have found is that there are a lot of people who are interested in this type of product, but none of the persons that I spoke with had ever heard of PMA. That is where we come in. I am convinced that if more people find out about this product, many will be interested in it and many will purchase it. In that regard, I would like to put it to this group to come up with creative ways for us to get the word out. I have already been making it a point to leave a copy of the advertisement in every airplane, hotel room, rental car, etc. that I encounter. In addition, I have discussed the PMA product with many of my friends and a couple of my co-workers and encouraged them to tell some of their friends. (you all know how it goes, if you tell two friends and they tell two friends and they tell two friends and so on and so on….) Finally, I think it is important to point out that I am not proposing that we pump the stock, rather I am proposing that we hype the product. I am convinced that if we generate interest in the product that interest will turn into sales and those sales will result in a higher stock price. For those of you who think that market makers and shorts are keeping this stock down, while you may be right the ONLY sure fire, guaranteed way to get the price of this stock to go through the roof is to sell a lot of the PMA product. In closing let me say that I think this is a great idea, but I may be off my rocker. To that point, I would ask that anyone who has taken the time to read this far, take a few minutes more and e-mail me at joinvestor@aol.com with your thoughts. I would like to find out how may people are willing to help in this “Grass Roots” campaign and what parts of the country we have covered. Also, I will serve as the clearinghouse for ideas on how we can spread the word. If anyone has any ideas please send them my way and I will post them under my name. That way those of you who are interested in keeping up on the campaign will only have to look in one place. Thanks for taking the time to read this long message and I look forward to communicating with each of you through cyberspace in the near future. GO BNEZ! JO
