Hello:
     
I am in full agreement that this proposal should be approved!  Overwhelming. 
I know you are trying hard to clean up the OTCBB market.  If you are going to 
do this, you should clean it up as a 'complete package'.  The MM's for NASDAQ 
can't short sell.  Why can the MM's for OTCBB stocks be allowed to?  They 
aren't special.  In fact, this is what shareholders get so angry at.  The 
MM's know the OTCBB market is not followed very closely by the SEC.  If you 
put a group of people, in any kind of business, in a position to make money 
any way they can, they will take it.  Right now, the MM's know they can get 
away with this, and they are doing so.  The only reason it is not illegal, is 
because it is not yet a rule.  The MM's know this, so they will abuse this 
short selling procedure until they are forced to change.  It all boils down 
to greed.  Always has...always will.
     
Please, someone has got to stop the MM's from playing the games they play. We 
have no one else to turn to but the SEC.  I know you people are understaffed 
and overworked, but this is a great proposal, longggggg overdue.
     
Thanks for your time.  I do not want this added to the list of comments by 
investors that you put on your site.
