Douglas: You're absolutely correct. Deadlines have come and gone. Did you happen to catch the Windows '98 Extravaganza last year? It starred Bill Gates, the World's richest man, and Microsoft, the nation's largest company. After 3 years in the making they unveiled a product that didn't work. St happens. FNTN is a tiny start-up operation starring 5 souls - not 60,000. They are averaging 6 months behind schedule in their endeavors - some events shorter, some events longer. St happens. When I opened my business (which is a reasonably successful enterprise) I was 6 months late opening my doors. The only difference was I didn't have a bunch of itchy stockholders in my face. S**t happens. As for the type of news, subject of news or impact of news, I've never had prior knowledge as to the subject, scope, timing or quality of any PR from this company, and if I did have prior knowledge it would be illegal. If you are truly concerned that FNTN may not be successful, or worse, has produced any unreasonable or any unanswerable doubt concerning their forthrightfulness or honesty, you should consider selling your holdings and moving on. I have sold out of stocks for exactly that reason, sometimes I'm proven wrong but sometimes I've been right. I'm no guru. I'm just some slob out there in Cyberspace with an opinion and my own prejudices and you don't know me or the foundations of my opinions from a ball point pen. So even if I sound convincing, don't listen. My role should not be here to convince you or anyone else to risk your money - only to tell you why I choose to risk my own. You sound like a guy who belongs in an issue that he's more comfortable in. I've been there. My only advice to you is to simply get out of a position that you're not comfortable in. It's not worth a coronary. Good luck whichever way you choose to go, Douglas.. Wally
