Suzanne, I sincerely appreciate your continued effort in determining Mr. Gordon's reasoning for the RCLA. The reality is if it was a Poison Pill device it states nowhere as such. Further to that he has too much personal gain to believe that it was done for the betterment or protection of a company of questionable demand. I would like to see the dialogue focus on having Mr. Gordon repudiate the agreement once and for all. But in addition I also believe that it would be beneficial for all to understand the workings of the share counts in all of the various categories. Authorized Issued Float In reserve for the PP Held by Insiders Reserved for Option Conversion, and the specific amount for Mr. Gordon. In the Corporate Treasury. I think it would also be of interest to know if the Form 8's are sufficient public notice for the insiders to freely trade their shares especially Mr. Gordon. Seems to be lots of share activity and no 144's being filed. Last... and certainly not least, There is another troublesome problem in the share count issue. Very troublesome. And it's part of the above but could be asked as a separate question. Are the 26,666,666 shares underlying the attendant $0.15 options in Mr. Gordon's revolving $4,000,000 loan agreement already in the issued share count of 95,000,000? Are they in the current authorized share count? Or is this new request for shareholder approval of authorizing more shares designed to also cover his forward looking personal needs? This answer to the last question will definitely shed more light on Fridays PR announcing the need to authorize more shares. Currently, if there are limited or no provisions for the underlying shares for Mr. Gordon's RCLA and these newly required authorized shares will be used for that, and it was not in the Friday PR, it speaks volumes about the veracity of the people involved or lack thereof. It will also give us a birds eye as to his plans to convert in the near term. Not to mention his regards for the intelligence of TSIG's shareholders. Should be an easy question for them to answer. I would suggest that any attempt to secure this information should be done in writing and be so noted with share counts on a specific date. Clarity here will rule. After all is said and done let's see if we can move past these dilution issues and concentrate on getting Dr. Frankel to a seat on the Board. That would seem to be the highest priority. This dilution issue should easily fall to the rear if management would be more forthcoming with written answers. SC
