Subject: comment on "Proposed Regulation FD"

Dear SEC -
     
As a physicist-entrepreneur, I have sold two small privately held companies 
I founded
to publicly held Silicon Valley companies.  I have personally witnessed the 
kind
of private information sharing between fast growing companies and the shark 
pool of
securities "analysts" that Regulation FD proposes to eliminate.
     
Until 1998 I was a shareholder in ADAC Labs (NASDAQ) where I had sold my 
first
company in 1983.  The amount of insider information and trading 
irregularities that
continue to go on with that company could make a lawyer blush.
     
I left the high tech industry and now I am an Episcopal priest.  I heartily 
support leveling
the playing field with Regulation FD.
