I find it incredible that certain people come out of the woodwork only on certain occasions. I would love for you to call me a liar to my face. Easy to call someone a liar when can hide behind your computer, isn't?. If both you and Ian are so convinced this is a scam, then I presume the basis of your posts are to save us? Save us, save us! I take great offense when people call me a liar without even knowing me. Every single post that I have posted is 100% truth. I may be right some times and wrong some others. You do your DD and I do my DD. If you are so convinced and satisfied that this play is a scam, good for you and move on with your life. Where were you when the stock climbed 150% in the last week? You were mighty quiet as was Ian. But all of sudden, when the stock comes down, you come out of your shell like a snail!!!! This is a forum and all opinions and point of views are welcomed. If this stock crashes to a penny, do you honestly think that my life is ruined. I only invest in what I can afford to lose. If I thought that this stock was a scam, I would have bailed long ago. Unbelievable that you and Ian are presuming that most people on this thread are idiots. I guess that Citibank must be idiotic as well, to join forces with VNE. Oh by the way, if you are in the Toronto area I'll be more than happy to bring you along and meet this broker from Merrill Lynch. He can confirm that he attended today's meeting. Who the heck told you that Merrill Lynch can't buy stocks for their client's under $5? I am not referring to the equity guy's from Merill (institutional buying). Last time I checked, Merrill had over 200 brokers in the GTA that buy and sell whatever stocks their client's wish! A Pissed Off, ZEUS

Thanks AGORA for the thorough debrief. I really like Citibank's aggressive attitude in wanting to move this initiative forward in a prompt manner, plus Valu-net has the strongest position in the partnership. Should be exciting for all involved. I really like the worldwide potential of this alliance and the ability to do business in all those currencies - perfect model to utilize the capabilities of the Internet. Companies wanting immediate exposure to all of those markets will just love this capability that the eMerge Alliance offers. ZEUS - really appreciate your DD - just ignore the 'experts in hindsight'. Ian #1 has a thin skin - was funnin' with him/her yesterday - but he/she gets easily upset. Techstocker is also a ‘winner': Message 7586100 Did your Falcon's end up covering? You can say what you like in your posts – but there's no doubt in my mind that you have LOST all of your Superbowl bets in the last seven years. Wow, it was even half way through the game and you “Guaranteed!!!!!!” your call. ”Super Bowl XXXIII DENVER -7 1/2 at Atlanta, under 53 -- As the sun sets in Miami, John Elway rides away as a champion. A late touchdown causes heartache for Dan Reeves (last bad joke of the season, folks) and covers the spread for Denver backers. Denver 31, Atlanta 21” What was that you said? “I pick ATLANTA as they will come back to at least cover the 7 1/2 points. Guaranteed!!!!!!” Opps – just goes to show what your opinion is worth. Till tomorrow, David.
