<<Larry read and reread FMK's last post and then look in the mirror and say "why am I so dense".>> Mark, we had this very same conversation three months ago when the stock was at a higher price. FMK was saying the very same thing about the purpose of SEC filings (he was also wrong about this 3 months ago.) FMK was saying purchase orders were imminent, and he was goading me for having sold at lower prices. It turns out that 3 months ago the SEC filings were right and FMK was wrong. I lost out on absolutely nothing by selling 3 months ago and have had several opportunities to buy back for up to 30% below the price where I sold. We had this same conversation 6 months ago when FMK said production was imminent and the SEC filings said they were not. As a matter of fact, we've been having this same conversation for 18 months. The losing game on this stock for the last 18 months has been to buy into one of these spikes. I managed to get my original investment back by selling into these spikes. I see nothing different about this one than any of the several that preceeded it. But what do I know? Maybe this time, "we have sent no commercial samples to any customers" means "not only have we sent commercial samples to customers, but they have also tested them extensively and are ready to sign a purchase order." If so, I might have to pay a higher price if I want to buy. Fine with me.

<<Larry read and reread FMK's last post and then look in the mirror and say "why am I so dense". >> Mark -- this is really unnecessary. Larry may be a contrarian but he has approached it in a civilized manner. I appreciate the imput from Larry and Zeev. We need to hear both sides of the argument. It is no different than Larry telling you to stand in front of a mirror, clicking your heels three times, and saying that you really really believe. I am long, but I also have to acknowledge that VLNC has a history of failing to produce. We have all seen these jumps before with nothing behind it. Hopefully, this time it will be a P.O. -- and that's is what we need. mhs
