Joe, did you consider the marketing plan for the music card when you made this statement? <<TSIG can't ship to Japan, or to any of 170 other countries for ANY price. As a shareholder, I am not happy with that at all. What was the Cohesive team thinking when they built this site?>> If you think about, TSIG drives consumers to their site through the sale of music cards by not for profit organizations and through promo cards. There has been no significant advertising of the music card as of yet as far as I know. Also, I have not been made aware of any music card deals or promo card deals that have been made in Japan, or in any of 170 other countries. I certainly believe there will be in the future but at this point any knowledgeable investor could assume that there are very few consumers outside of the borders of the united states which are aware of the music card at this time. Besides investors, how many consumers do you think there are in Japan at this time who are aware and would use the music card? If you follow TSIG I would suspect that you are aware that TSIG is growing and that they have a significant amount of work to do in a number of areas of focus. One of these areas is improvement of the web site. With the team that Hwang has in place the site should approach the point where it has no equals. How would you expect that to be done or even attempted if they were to focus on non-urgent aspects such as shipping orders to countries where TSIG does not have a marketing focus in place yet. Certainly, shipping out of country is an important function for the site but how high on the priority list do you expect it to be? I am sure that the Music Boulevard site as it exists right now was not built over night and certainly was improved on over time. If you really think that the music card site should be 100% fully functional with all the bells and whistles including shipping to the whole of the globe and no kinks whatsoever on the day of it's opening or shortly there after you are not dealing in reality. If you have some concerns regarding the site, please take them up with the company. Take Care Joe, Boyd
