I have to admit that the title of x11's post threw me of a bit, and as a result, I misread part of his post. My apologies to him for that.

However, I think all types of investors are, and ought to be, concerned about manipulation, and this issue has been gaining more traction recently...

At any rate, concerning NOT, the issue of manipulation, along with the promotion issue coupled with the mysterious lack of news containing visuals and assays, has certainly allowed Bay St. to volley NOT's SP like a tennisball at Wimbledon, but we should not excuse them (Bay St.) for this because of it.

I would rather much see the SP move up on good news from an SP free of sillly manipulation, than one that is artificially depressed by some geeks on Bay St. who get their jollies by buying and selling 100 share lots to themselves to keep a lid things and bully the SP around.

Clearly neither manipulation, lack of news, nor ineffective promotion alone are responsible for our current pathetic market cap - it is all three. However, that should not stop us from being aware and concerned about any or all.

An increasing market cap is a never ending battle with the market, and we should always be concerned about who is winning. I for one am waiting patiently for NOT to remember the battle is still on and stumble back into the colliseum and prtoect our SP... Its very precious and fragile thing that they need to take care of.

In the meantime, I'll join the crowd and boo the manipulators... Now where's my beer and pretzels?

Regards,
