Geoff,

The sad part is that most of us chose to believe those who either worked directly for the company, or were close to individuals in the company. We had faith. We thought we did our DD. We thought the bashers were wrong, and history (we also thought) would record that fact.

I would venture a guess that a great majority of early shareholders now wish they had listened to those who we grew to despise. Because, in the end, it looks like they were the ones who came out on top. That doesn`t mean I have grown to like them... I only wish I would have given them more of chance along the way to prove their point.

Or, it would be even better if a close friend had never shared information about Nanopierce with me. I would be money ahead, and I would be far less skeptical of people that I really need to trust.

I`d like to recover some of my great loss someday by holding on to my remaining shares... but, I doubt that will ever happen.

Jeff
