Hi Folks;

I guess by many of the posts that I have made in the past, many of you are expecting that I will be doing another "Pump up the Volume" session. Not gonna happen!

As much faith as I have in our Jewel in the Rough, ---I am of the firm belief that this company would be Nothing without its extremely educated (thanks to the Acoracom Hub Leaders) and dedicated shareholders,---and yes, --- that means you guys and gals and even children that have grabbed ahold of the SLI dream and kept faith for however long you have been at it.

I am not going to slam management, but neither am I going to praise them. I feel a little let down, as most of you do, that we have not received any words of encouragement about the jewel we are about to reveal.

It has got to be very hard for Murry and Alice to keep their heads up high when they get no help at all to back their positivity. I guess most of us Longs have that problem, as do some of the newer investors that have talked family and friends to invest in our jewel in the rough.

Fact of the matter is for me--- I tell the newer people ---read the Agoracom board with its library and photos and draw your own conclusions. Its a venture stock with probably the best potential of any venture stock out there, in my opinion.

However ---don't expect management to give any info to us on a regular basis cuz they have their own agenda, and I'm not convinced that they give a damn about the shareholders feelings. If they did care they would not let Murry and his good wife Alice defend this company and its actions alone.

I guess it gets easier to Forget your Roots when you know you've got it beat. Personnally, I've certainly lost a lot of respect, not so much on the ability to produce a winner--- but to keep the people who believed in you from the start better informed.

Sure seemed easier to keep us informed when they needed the cash to keep this baby from falling off the end of the earth during the last recession. How soon they forget---shame on you.

That is not to say we have a bad investment,--- I still feel that this diamond in the rough is going to make life altering winners out of the investors. We will All have our day in the Sun aboard the SS St Elias,--- I just wish Management would have more concern about its investors feelings. This --however---is just my opinion.
