Kevin, I look forward to my daily dose of Saperstein and Cole. Their intense bursts have, as far, as I can see only aimed at NEWTEK or persons really pissed at them – and I can hardly blame them in either case. I am generally a very positive person, and I guess I/one could read their posts as somewhat negative. However, in fact, I see their posts as providing some pretty realistic perspectives on business and technical issues that together with what the rest of us contribute to the cology of ideas brewing here. I agree, it would be useful if the flyer threads had a healthier timbre to them. But if NEWTEK is able to turn this around, it may very well be due the persistence of those here and elsewhere who raised not only criticisms but expectations for their performance. There have been a few hopeful signs from NEWTEK. It would be extremely helpful to get a big sign in the next little while – like a working 4.1 version that enables us to use our premium priced, NT warrantied Seagates. Within that context, we all would be able to begin more threads focused on "wish lists" and the exchange of clever ways to achieve certain effects rather than our collective bewailing of deep bugs. Regards, Michael I certainly look forward to that day. Michael
