Date: 03/22/2000 3:08 PM Subject: Proprosed Regulation FD s Please consider the "independent" investor and do require companies to disclose their "inside" information to the public. It seems unconscionable that they have been able to keep this to a selected group of analysts and/or institutional investors for as long as they have, especially in today's more open forums. Thank you. John & Joanne Miley 121 Sailview Drive Mooresville, NC 28117
