Sid, is it possible that you have too much experience with the dark side of securities regulation? Perhaps you were under too much pressure in your roll of whatever your roll was. Did you have to cooperate with SEC investigators to protect yourself as a CI or were you just a concerned altruist, a guardian of capitalism? See how the innuendo of a question can damage Sid or damage, Sid? Sometimes it is effected with a simple ploy like punctuation. Sid, you may have the purist of motivations for your crusade but I am too cynical to believe that. Maybe that is my loss. Please consider the following: Sid, you offer as evidence of fallacious inconsistencies in the accounting that the cost of goods sold per DCHT's figures is less than the materials cost which is only one component of the whole cost of goods sold. Sid, have you or they mismatched periods perhaps? Didn't they state that the cost of production had been reduced drastically so isn't it possible that they are referring to the current cost of goods at the reduced production cost being less than the previous materials cost. Of course small scale production and prototype production is going to be extremely cost inefficient! Still, you go to the trouble of doing an in depth analysis without going to the primary source for data- the company's IR process which Steve has encouraged all to utilize. Are you afraid you will get the missing pieces to the puzzle and not be happy with the result which may contradict your sophistic-not sophisticated- contentions. Sid, you may be correct in the end and I would be the first to want to know, especially if I had a bigger position to be concerned about, but please go all the way before you cry that the sky is falling! To not do so is equally irresponsible and damaging to innocent parties. Alan Brezin
