Thank you for your very excellently stated and heartfelt thoughts. I understand and appreciate what you and others have gone through. One slight correction of something you assumed, I guess, but is not accurate: I actually did sell most of my shares at a fat profit when it hit $6, but was foolishly persuaded that it was an error and bought most of it back at $7 3/4, plus some more "on the way down." Now do you understand my "attitude?" I think that was worse than holding on to it the whole time. I actually made an intelligent move, but then backtracked into the mob mentality. Also, I was subpoenaed for MTEI, not DGIV. I am very glad you have recouped your losses. I have not. But then again, my DGIV losses are only on paper.....I AM LONG AND STRONG! :) Cheers.

You wrote: "It's another thing when we as investors, instead of focusing on the lessons that we all learned, begin to focus on each other's motives, without the slightest evidence that any of us were anything other than stupid." IMO there are major qualitative differences between you, Macker and Rocketeer1 (though not in that order) and the rest of us. There was a leadership role that the three of you exercised that was not exercised by others. [A disgression: I should include in the leadership role also Mr.D. Unlike the three of you, Mr.D is still with us. As far as I can see, he has played a clean game. IMO if there is to be a thread leader, the test of time has shown that it is him. His support of the Co., thread members and also what has surfaced of his personal honesty has been nothing but exemplary.] In October or November I had the impression that between the "three thread leaders" some 11,000 posts were posted on the DGIV threads. As I see it, and most would agree, I am responsible for my economic decisions. I am responsible for letting myself be influenced by one or other opinion (or not). OTOH some 11,000 posts kind of "gave me a hand" pointing in one direction, if you know what I mean ...."Headfake, headfake,....the most researched stock in OTC-BB history,......if you liked this share at $6 you will love it at $4" etc etc. There must be some 2,000 or 3,000 posts of yours in the DGIV threads.... I am sceptical of disclaimers as yours, even if long and very well written. You remind me of somebody that gains weight constantly throughout a long period of time and decides to do a strict diet on one Tuesday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm. What remains in the minds of many of us is something very different than what you wish would remain in our minds. I don't know if you were naive, I don't know if Macker was naive, I don't know if Rocketeer1 was naive. You say that you were, ok, but your posts definetely did not sound it (perhaps I was more naive than you and that it is why they sounded so "definitive"). I remember comments by Macker in an interview (due to the MTEI "situation") where he claimed very limited knowledge of the workings of the market.... I enjoyed reading most of your posts since you seem to have imagination, knowledge about tech, a very good capacity to structure things in your mind and also privileged writing skills. What troubles me with what has been your role is not to be found here.... I do think that if you, really, would have learnt to look at yourself in the mirror again, you would not have minded posts such as those Howard posted......
