Subject: making otcbb market makers report their short position


i'd like to offer my full support to the initiative of having market makers
in otc:bb stocks report their short   positions.  too man people have been
hurt by their manipulations.  there is no reason why the rules should  not
be the same as  nasdec stocks  when will the reporting start?
