Mark,

Perhaps you are closer to Paul than most of the rest of us.

Some of us have shared the excitement. We have contributed our resources and our confidence, only to be let down. There's no hard feelings about losing an investment, and learning a lesson.

It's when the lessons learned don't seem to fit all the build-up.

The lessons learned have been interesting if nothing else. The Brunetti deal is just one of several. For those of us who are skeptical, but who still have holdings, we wait for the record to improve. It is not our place to make optimistic projections about future business when there has been almost nothing in the past to remotely consider a success.

I'm still holding... mainly because of the huge loss I would realize should I sell now. I will be grateful for an improvement in share price. But, I would never be so foolish as to invest more money in a company with such a poor record of maintaining shareholder value.

All my personal opinion.

Jeff
