dcbass- Thanks for the response. I thought I read that the new shares were also restricted. I wonder where IR got their info on the number of shorts? There may be a serious short squeeze if indeed longs have been buying- there may not be enough shares available to cover 9+ million shorts. The old survey indicates that only about 17m free trading shares are not controlled by this board, and the number we don't control may be less now. And that's just this board, I'm sure there are other longs out there with significant holdings.

box927- It might be an interesting exercise to add up the numbers again. I've added a bit, and others may have too. I thought I was finished, but I might have to look for change under the couch cushions if this trades any more under .02...

If anyone else wants to participate, copy and paste the following, update your share count under New Shares on your name line and add your increase to the total at the bottom. If you're new to the list, just add another line. We can do the running totals as we get enough responses (just coincidence that the first three have already responded).
