I believe that it is healthy to have differing opinions in debate about the merits of a particular stock. This is what this forum is about. Sometimes people are right, and other times they are wrong. Today I was wrong about Dell computer. Now no one has to drive that into me with a hammer, or rub my face in it. I am a big boy, and I live and die (so to speak) by my actions. I just hate to watch as otherwise intelligent people belittle each other when someone else disagrees with their actions. What I find truly distasteful is the level of debate (I am being generous here by calling it a debate) that has taken place during the past few hours. Everyone, has in their own way hyped their positions. There are even some private messages that some of us have received touting a stock that is now 1/2 the value from when it was strongly endorsed as the next Microsoft. Yes, we could rub someone's face in it, and make them look foolish, but what would that accomplish. We all are wrong at times, but we don't have to resort to slinging mud when we are right. I also believe that not caring how one makes money, and being willing to do or say anything to do so is pretty sad. I mentioned earlier today that I bought more at $6.85. I do not regret that purchase because the $.20 difference will be inconsequential in a short period of time. I have faith in the company, in their business plan, and the management's ability to pull it off. I have bet heavily that Nasdaq will happen, and it will provide this company with the opportunity to let millions of new customers know about them. Let's get excited, and celebrate when we are correct, and be gracious at the same time. I am in for the long haul, and wish everyone the best with their own investments - whichever they might be. Crazy Canuk P.S. I can't respond now as I am heading off to take my son to a Hockey Game. Now that's what I call important.

Kris, I never said I wasn't going to talk to you anymore. However, given your childish behaviour, I'm not in it with you anymore either.

Dear Krissy/Dougie: From following the last few posts, you and your friend share the same arrogant narcosis and paraniod delirium. Krissy you would have us believe you are some kind of sophisticated lawyer and investor when in fact your banter is at best childish and UNSOPHISTICATED!!!!! You try to impress everyone with your stature and wealth (which I doubt) but non the less, you claim to have. I have been following this thread since the fall of 1998 and am long on BII. I have appreciated Sili, Waldo, Chief and anyone else who has had something positive and constructive to contribute to this thread. This does not mean that there are no negative factors to be aware of, but anyone who believes in BII should remain positive and let the story unfold as it may.
