BigKNY, these guys (scientist) do there thing in the labs. I am salesman that has had to convince customers to do business with me even though I may have an inferior product. I invested in VVUS hoping a good marketing organization could win their share of business. It's done using an indirect selling strategy. Change the ground rules of the consumer (patient) decision from that of convenience to that of safety. This kind of strategy can work and especially in a growing market and to customers that apply. They have failed so far. My guess is that selling drugs is like retailing. VVUS should hire a sales strategist from the technology sector.

BigK You are beginning to fascinate me with outstanding information. How did you get the copy of the abstracts? Are you now an "investor" of Vivus? Other than fighting with VLAD which could be diversion for you why have you suddenly become so active on this board? If it's too personal don't answer. Ed

DaiS <<<-Induction of penile erection by intracavernosal and transurethral administration of zaprinast (a PDE-5 inhibitor) and PGE1 (#848)Is this on cats?>> DS: Yes, a bunch of happy cats were tested. DaiS <<Any chance that you can sock it to us with the non-Vivus muse study titles?>> It seems only 1 non-VVUS supported MUSE study from Korea will be presented (#1057): "Results of color duplex ultrasound after transurethral MUSE and intracavernous alprostadil" The 1999 AUA Meeting abstract book is available to all subscribers of the Journal of Urology....a must for ED stock investors.
