BeachBum, Gee, this stock symbol contest sure got a lot of interest here. I may have to do the same with my new company GeneTAG Technology, Inc. that I just incorporated a few months ago. I reserved a website address yesterday: genetag-tech.com The link is: genetag-tech.com I must say there is something funny going on there. The company that does that (Network Solutions) allows you to input a name you would like and they scan to see if it is available. Well, yesterday afternoon I tried to get genetag.com, and that was gone, so I tried genetagtech.com and genetagtechnology.com and they were available so I went to discuss it with my associates and when I came back, both those names became unavailable. So I had to take the one above with a hypen in it. Sure seems like someone knew what I asked for and locked it up. Tell me this is coincidence and no one has had this experience?

Probably a thousand others sent in the same. Has to be a drawing of names from the same symbol, or maybe the first to send it in. In any case, I'm sure you'll be gracious enough to split your 50,000 shares with me, restricted or not.
