Peter: Yes, I sure do push back, when I'm pushed. And I've been abused by members of this thread, though I have never been abusive in return. From this comment of yours and others I've seen from you, I believe you have a personal sensitivity to strong women. Sorry that I've grated on you. I have no other opinion of you, since I haven't seen any contributions of yours, other than your occasional snipes at me. I hope you work it out. I tend to feel that using full, real, names, does add to credibility, personally. I think it's a mistake that SI allows aliases, encouraging irresponsibility. My point about ZONA has always been simple. It doesn't work well enough and therefore has a good chance of not being approved, and of not having good sales if it is approved. I hope you didn't let your personal problem with me interfere with your judgment in regard to this stock. Something you posted once suggested that you might have. Ouch! Linda

Peter V... >>And while I'm at it, I think that posting your real name adds nothing to your credibility<< I believe I owe you and the vast majority of posters who do not show their real name a public apology for my comment about a real name equals creditability. I simply did not really explain myself fully. When I see someone heavily hyping a stock or pushing it short real hard, and that person concentrates essentially on a single stock, in the vast majority of cases, there is no real name. It is at that time that I become very suspicious. In fact some of my best shorts have been when I see a "hypster" only posting on a single thread, posting 10-20 times a day and most always not using a real name. On the other hand, I have seen a LOT of very good posts by individuals who do not use their name. I also understand ther a lot of excellent reasons why people do not use thier real names. So Peter V., I apologize and you are NOT one of the people I was refering to. Guess I was too overjoyed from the ZONA news to make myself clear. Cheers and now lets concentrate on ALTIF! Bob T.
