Jeff,

In the past, you have expressed anger.....

"Am I the only one who feels so strongly about this? I lost a great deal of money because I believed the Nanopierce hype. I can't believe that others who have lost as much money, or more, wouldn't feel the same anger with current management and the state of Vyta." 5/23/08

and feelings of betrayal...

"I felt somewhat betrayed after the Brunetti/Intercell deal, and the contract that fell through with Los Alamos." 7/19/08

(...even though I somehow had gotten the (perhaps mistaken) impression that you had received inside information along with others contemplating participation in a private placement with Intercell.)

and bitterness....

"Am I bitter? That is probably an understatement. And there is enough bitterness to go around. I don't believe our government does enough to protect its citizens.... this may be the case with the current level of anti-biotics in our food supply. I am also bitter about how the commercial interests of large companies affects our population. (And although outside of the scope of this discussion, I am bitter about the government's lack of regulation and oversight in the financial markets.)" 6/24/08

It was statements such as those above (and this is just a random sampling) that have led me to perceive you as feeling angry, betrayed and embittered, though it was even really the more acrid posts made by some others here that prompted my musing to excitableboy...

"It has been my observation that many (but certainly not all) of the investors that periodically return with acrimonious rants toward management have not yet taken some of the steps toward introspection that you obviously have forced yourself to endure."

And...

"I cannot read the venomous rantings without wondering what other personal failures are being justified by focusing blame for one's current condition on the management of a penny stock company."

I was certain, you may have noticed, to include myself as one of those in need of periodic introspection. None of us have the monopoly on objectivity.

Regards,
