Dear Members.

In an effort to provide this community with an adequate response to a small group of posters recent behavior, we wish to inform everyone that the next person or people to be found in violation to our six rules of use will be immediately banned - and this decision will not be further discussed.

We have wasted close to 18 man hours this week alone, dealing with a situation that is both perpetual, immature, and one that next to nobody condones.

Quite simply, the amount of personal posts has become overwhelming. Though we are prepared for the fact that personal issues can and will break out on occasion, they are now becoming perpetual on this HUB. It's obvious that one side cannot convince the other of their opinions; and it's been let known in no uncertain terms that by attempting to demerit another poster, or accusing another poster of something that is either an outright lie or simply cannot be substantiated in any tangible and factual terms, will eventually lead the forum into to a roller coaster of emotional posts, instead of informative insights on the company's activities.

This does not suit anybody but those who wish to bring harm to EDIG.

As such, as of Friday April 29th 2011, at 5PM EST, those in violation of any of the rules below will have to deal with the following:

First Foul - Termination

We will have a zero tolerance policy towards:

Bickering, Profanity, Name Calling, Accusations, Repetition, Posting any statements or issues that cannot be substantiated in any factual or tangible means and Off Topic personal messages on the Main Discussion board.

I think we have made it clear that our goal isn't to punish anyone, or to delete a poster who has legitimate views and opinions on the forum. Unfortunately our lenience has been distorted and our format, which works so well on over 2000 other Shareholder Communityies, is no longer working here.

Those of you who have known me understand this has nothing to do with ego and power. It has everything to do with returning this HUB to its original purposes - the constructive discussion of EDIG and industry fundamentals leading to the most informed investment decision possible.

We are asking all of you to take today and the entire weekend to away from your screens and allow cooler heads to prevail. I kindly ask everyone to consider their fellow shareholders, who flock to the board by the thousands to catch up on the company's latest developments. We demand you keep any personal differences off the forum.

We will not allow this community to deteriorateany further. This is not a my way or the highway arena. If you desire that environment, we invite you to leave.

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday. Make sure to bring your best side.

Regards,

AGORACOM
