This post is to no one in particular--just don't know how to post unless I hit a reply to someone's message. So Paris, this is NOT directed at you... A nyway, i wanted to raise a question, not a complaint. I've noticed that this thread is 90% chit chat and 10% good investment data, analysis or even theorizing. If someone isn't bashing someone else, there is just a lot of useless information. It makes it really tedious to sift through and find out the worthwhile posts. So my question is this: Is the primary purpose of this BBS to just socialize and gossip? I mean I do that a LOT, on irc and other places--its fun. But I didn't expect to see so much of it here. Anyway, does anyone else feel this way? Before anyone dumps on me for being too serious, understand I am not trying to stop people from having fun here--like I could anyway. But perhaps if there are others who want a more investment-oriented thread there is a place to go or we should create one... Let me know what you think. Just trying to get a handle on what we are here for....

Sorry, G-Man....I got ahead of myself by one day... Not to worry about playing into the hands of shorts..... We certainly did not play into the hands of the Hypster and his buddies and we are not going to be manipulated by a second bunch of shorts. I got in below $5.00 and feel exactly the same way you do!!!! Paris

I have a general question about WCTI's current stock distribution. I may not have my numbers exactly correct, but here's the question. If there are approx. 11K shares outstanding and the float is 4.8K then does that mean the owners/insiders consume the remaining 6.2K shares? I am just trying to better understand this concept. Thanks for the training session. I hope in the future I can contribute info to all those who repeatedly contribute on this thread. Thanks and good luck to all WCTI LONGS!
