Hi Suzanne and ALL, Thanks for putting up a great intelligent post (as usual), Suzanne. <<So who is right? Ditchdigger/Hed/Berger or the longs (REW, Marty, slaffe, Jazzbo, Mski)? The interesting thing here is that the market will tell us who is right. In 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years the market will declare the winners! Stay tuned.>> IMO, you couldn't be more accurate... and I have put my money where my mouth is! You're right... time will tell, but quite frankly, I've never felt more comfortable with a company. Suzanne, in contrast to many of the posters, many years ago (back in the early '70's) I was the founder and Chairman of the Board of a public company whose stock went from $2.00 on the IPO to $16.00 one year later... all without the internet and its inherent opportunities for manipulation (both up or down). Due to a bad heart attack, and finally listening to my own cardiologist, I resigned from the Board and any position in the company (I ended up with two more heart attacks and underwent open heart surgery by Mike DeBakey in Houston in 1981 and have been great ever since... guess it shows that going to the best does payoff). So I believe I know where Rob Gordon is coming from... even though we have never met before. As the old expression goes... been there, done that. IMHO, he has done a masterful job of taking this startup/turnaround company to new heights in an extremely short time with its innovative and unique game or business plan, the bringing in of top upper management leaders, and the signing of deals and alliances. The stock price? IMO, time will take care of that and, again IMO, those who are willing to do their DD (in total and not just an item here or there) and wait for the revenues to flow will be more than justly rewarded. I have been following the thread looking for questions, but instead have found everyone's attention diverted by the three "amigos". One who has posted continuously without ever responding to a question asked of him and who we suddenly find has posted to his friend Zed on another thread to determine if what he has already posted on the TSIG thread is valid. Then there's the other one who says absolutely nothing and does nothing but violate SI rules as to number of posts he is allowed... and his response to questions is also lacking. Lot's of one liner gibberish with no substance. And then, of course, there's the "guru meister" who has no time to do any DD, but has plenty of time to post. If his intentions were truly to do his "civic" duty, it seems more logical to me that he would look at the entire picture of TSIG. Instead he responds to posters and questions with more "holier than thou" statements... of course still avoiding answering questions. For some reason I just can't believe the members of the thread are responding to this overtly transparent tag team. Does anyone really believe they are here to help you with your DD? They may quiet down a little now, but wait until tomorrow night before the market opens. The odds, IMO, are they will be back. <<Marty is going to St. Peteāto make the pilgrimage as he says. BTW, have we posted all the questions we want him to ask? I suspect that Marty is going to do more than simply ask questions and listen. I suspect that a man whose messages average 2+ screens in length is also planning on doing some talking. Oh, to be a fly on the wall!>> Thanks, Suzanne, for posting that again. I wish someone would go back to my post when I said I was going to the home office and go to the first post after that with questions and just continue to add to it so all the questions are on one final post. I am working on a laptop as my main server totally crashed over a week ago and it is in for service... hence I won't have an easy job collating all the separate posts and printing them out. If anyone is up to it... it would certainly be appreciated. Unfortunately, the three members of the tag team did a good job of diverting attention away from thread members getting some answers to their questions. Many thanks again, Suzanne,... and to all who are serious long-term investors who want some answers to some questions. I know I have some of my own, but they pertain more to the mechanics of execution to produce a rapid rampup in revenues and cashflow than to the things that have occupied this thread for the past few days... although a clarification of these items is certainly on the agenda. In closing, let's hope they are courteous hosts and give me a welcome present with a dynamite PR. I have my own personal feelings as to where the selling has been coming from... and it's not from insiders, officers, the PP holders, etc.. If anyone has done their DD seriously and in detail they have seen that quite some time ago certain outside parties were given a lot of freely trading stock... and these people are no longer affiliated with the company and some have serious problems (unrelated to TSIG) of their own. I will make no further comment about this until and if I can back it up with facts. Be Right!!!... Stay Tight!!! Best always, Marty
