Hey Jake, What's your problem? About that "Even your mentally challenged buddy Stager has shut-up phor a while" crack, can you be a little more specific about what I said or where I said anything to trigger that flame? I've been after La Guardia to start answering e-mails and phone messages. I've given up. You'll see others complaining about their lousy attitude, not me. I don't even bother to call or e-mail them anymore. It's a waste of time and energy. I was after iChargeit to have their hyperlinks updated to draw coffee searches to their on-line store. After three e-mails and two calls they finally sent me e-mail, posted on this thread, that they were going to update their hyperlnks. A little recent history: Until Dana finally relented and made his presence known and finally hired a PR agency, due, in part, to my constant and tiresome nagging, this stock was in the gutter. Look back and see when and why this stock is beginning to show some signs of life. Now, Phat boy, what have you done to help this company get out of the gutter? About e-commerce: The Internet is an incredibly competitive sales environment. Except for a few champs like E-bay and Amazon which have made fortunes, (actually, E-Bay only recently became profitable. Amazon is still losing money but has made many stockholders rich) there are thousands of wannabes and losers. There are almost 200 other on-line coffee vendors on the net so don't think for a moment that even with a huge influx of cash MDMI will make a profit from this approach anytime soon. What will make MDMI money is what they're doing at Albertson's; getting their products into stores. It's sad to see "Seattle's Best" at Kroger's where Massimo's should have been. MDMI had a shot at Kroger's but blew it. I hope they learned from their mistakes and have great success at Albertson's. I'm staying on the sidelines for now. Particularly when the thanks I get is a crack like yours. _______________________________________ Marc Stager
