John: Thanks for the kind words. I suspect you're right - that my taste for crow will be short-lived - but I'll leave the predictions to Nostradamus and Mohammed (Ali that is). Wally

I've been reading all this SHOCKING information about FNTN !!! Some of the derogatory types descending like buzzards to a roost and post their STARTLING REVELATIONS on this thread are laughable. Startling revelation number 1: Management might have nearly 1/2 the outstanding shares. It is SOP for a new company to maintain (through its top echelon managers and BOD) a majority holding of securities. Startling revelation number 2: Key employees - that could be employed elsewhere and actually making more money - are paying themselves well. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. As FNTN proceeds with their business plan these incentives should prove well spent. Perhaps FNTN should have a less capable staff at a lower cost ? Starting revelation 3: A contract has not yielded projected revenues and profits. I feel sure that Michael Sheppard, the COO of FNTN, will give inquiring minds information on this subject if they'll contact him. Every start-up company has plans that don't come up to their expectations. It's a natural part of doing business that some things will out better than others - especially with a new company with a newly packaged product acquiring new customers. I could go on, but only time will prove whether FNTN will succeed. Until then interested FNTN investors will have to be careful and avoid the buzzard droppings. John
