Hi Marty As usual, I came home from work last night and found 90 new posts to wade through, as I waded through these posts I thought, jeez what has happened here. I was going to compose a post expressing my disdain for all the recent nonsense that has been going on here, but saw that numerous people had beat me to it and I did not feel it necessary to add one more. And then I found your post. << TSIG.com's Online Services will offer next-generation ISP products and services to businesses on a subscription rental basis. >> This is truly a huge move for tsig. Which will have positive long term effects on tsig. A little over a year ago when I first started investing on my own. I used to call you the da teach man in investing 101a (Marty, among other things is a professor). I pleaded with you to teach this novice investor the finer points of investing. It was apparent from your silence in that regard that you did want the job. However, you failed in not teaching myself. It is through your posting that I feel that I have learned a great deal. Number one, when you feel that you are right, sit tight. Of all of the money that I initially lost by trading in the last year and by reviewing my selections most of my picks would have returned a profit somewhere along the line if I had only held on to them. Number 2, when you are right don't worry about each tick. While tsig may fluctuate, it does have solid upward momentum. It is due to these two points that when I see my one year anniversary of individual investing (4/1/99) I may actually have a profit rather than the 75% loss that I had at one time. My ROI on tsig is currently 30%. One of the things that I really like about tsig. It allows me to sleep soundly. Thanks again. Steven J Lafferty
