AGORACOM.Request for greater transparency on OPMG and EDIG discussion boards.

AGORACOM..There is a dire need for more proactive "fair and balanced" diligence by AGORACOM HUB LEADERS of both the EDIG and OPMG "discussion" boards (the prior OPMG post is a case in point), as is the follwing as it relates to EDIG.

Although it is certain that the subject matter (Jerry Polis) of the following EDIG post will in know way affect a favorable USPTO decision for EDIG, it is nonetheless a subject that was well known in advance by DISCHINO and 1Coyote , both of whom are frequent participants on "the other" (not AGORACOM) EDIG discussion board.

It depends if the hypothesis of "the exclusion of a fact is the same as a lie" is applicable.

DISCHINO's recent OPMG post on the EDIG OT board as well DISCHINO's "processing" of the following EDIG post as a "Violation" should both be considered reasonable examples of such a hypothesis.

To:AGORACOM

Subject: Was the post about Jerry Polis selling his EDIG shares "REALLY" a violation of AGORACOM rules #4 and #5?

AGORACOM..On 2/10/2012, it was announced in an EDIG SEC filing that Jerry Polis (EDIG's largest sharehloder and the father of the EDIG Chairman of the Board), filed an SEC filing showing that he had been selling a substantial number of EDIG shares which placed his holdings at below 5% of outstanding shares.

The anticipation of this filing has been "well known" by investors on "other boards" (also frequented by DISCHINO and 1Coyote), but such information had never seen the light of day on the EDIG Agoracom board...until the anticipated 2/10/2012 SEC filing became public.

Speculation about the EDIG Chairman of the Board's father selling his shares has always been "unspoken" by DISCHINO and 1Coyote on the EDIG Agoracom board.

However, when the Jerry Polis SEC filing was finally announced on 2/10/2012, the following post was quickly reported as a violation by silversurfer and immediately processed by DISCHINO for "violation of Agoracom rules #4 and #5"...

"...Disruptive post only meant to incite the board. Posting spam from other discussion boards of apparent e.Digital bashers and also names the boards. Violation of AGORACOM rules 4 and 5."

____________________________________________________________________
AGORACOM...Here is the post in question...

It might be more positive to the ongoing due diligence on the Agoracom EDIG discussion board if....

I..EDIG Agoracom Hub Leaders spent LESS time concerning themselves with...

(A)..Policing and reporting as violations "vaguely negative" posts contibuted by others.

(B)...Commenting on the minutia and "personalities" of other contributors.

II...EDIG Agoracom Hub leaders spent MORE time concerning themselves with...

(A).. "Drilling down" to determine what's the latest that's "really" going on with e.Digital.

(B)..Being open minded to opinions of earnest posters who are seeking reliable information.

(III)...POSTED BY: "Neverending" on "another board" on 1/26/2012 at 9:26:47AM

(A)..."No SEC Form SC 13G from Jerry Polis and he has never filed later than January 24th. He used to have 15 million shares of EDIG as of last year and as a higher than 5% owner he had to file. Jerry Polis has had to file them every year because he has been reducing his ownership of EDIG every year. Basically he has been dumping the stock by millions of shares a year. Not a show of confidence."

(B)..."I am not sure if he has to file if he is now below 5% ownership but we will find out by mid-february. If he does have to file I assume it will show he owns less that 5% now and will no longer have to file the form. The end of one of the few signs of transparency from this company."

(C)..."The rules and regulations governing beneficial ownership of securities are covered in
Rule 13d-1 — Filing of Schedules 13D-G. You can also find information about filing deadlines and requirements for both the SC 13D and SC 13G here. A passive individual investor can file an initial SC 13G within 10 days of acquiring 5% ownership, and must file annually within 45 days of the end of the calendar year to report any changes in ownership. If the change in ownership exceeds 10% or changes by more than 5% then an amended 13G is required within 10 days. Also see this release by the SEC spelling it out. "

(IV)...Posted by "marqez" on "another board" on 1/13/2012 at 4:43:35 PM

(A)..."I try not to post much, but I have to chine in and hope that someone on this board will let the uninformed... know that the Polis family only owns a fraction of the shares they once had. Cassandra brought it to this board's attention before the last SHM. "

(B)"..And, while I was attending the shareholders meeting, I asked Mr. Polis about that and he confirmed that the family trust had sold a large portion of their EDIG holdings. His reason/excuse was that they needed to raise cash due to the failing real estate market in Las Vegas."

(C)...My opinion of the man after a fifteen minute conversation with him was that he was a polite yet not at all infomed about edig and its past.....

(V)... POSTED BY "Black Labs Rule" on Agoracom EDIG Board on 1/31/2012 at 12:33:09PM

(A)"...... All I have ever done on this board is try to seek information and thereby REALITY and post comments that will make people think and respond so everyone can learn."

(B)"Some of my recent posts have not been the party line and were removed by someone and then reinstated by someone else."

(C)"It is a waste of my time discussing things with people that want to trick themselves into feeling better by only listening to people that they already agree with."

(D)"I am not selling--I will be watching--I want all longs to make money but feel that whether my opinions are right or wrong they are in fact just that, opinions to be taken for what they are worth."

(E)"Many overly positive posts that are also opinions go untouched by those "in charge". Being positive in life in general is always better than being negative. However, ignoring things that are real so as to support the positive spin is foolish. GLTAL"
_______________________________________________________________________

AGORACOM...It should be noted that the Post by Black Labs RULE was in response to a post of his that wea also reported as a "violation" when the poster initiated a thoughtful comment regarding the recently announced EDIG 5 year lease (The violation in this instance was processed by 1Coyote)

Everyone is hopeful that the upcoming USPTO decision will be a benefivial one for EDIG, and the Jerry Polis situation will have no affect whatsoever on such an outcome. that said, there is no rational reason for DISHINO and 1Coyote and silversurfer to continuously flag any and all posts thatdiscuss other sub-topics that should be considered by other AGORACOM contributors.
