Rado,

It was good to hear from you. There are a great many similarities between the two of us, and I suspect with others who have invested in Nanopierce and who sometimes visit the boards.

Maybe we were raised wrong.... or, maybe we were raised right. What ever happened to the days of leading one`s life by making choices based on doing the right thing? My accountant and I recently discussed this, and he believes it has become a case of what is ``legal`` versus what is ``illegal``. There are a lot of people who base their lives on doing what they think they can get away with, not what`s right.

I hope there are others who read this board who can develop an understanding of what you are really saying. Unless they do, the importance of demanding performance and hard facts will be lost on them. It would be very unfortunate for someone to lose money in a speculative investment when there are others like us who have learned such an important lesson... the hard way.

May the rest of your life be blessed in ways that make up for this experience.

Jeff
