Subject: Proposed regulation FD

Please consider this a positive response in favor of any rule change which 
would remove the unfair advantage that currently inures to those selected 
parties to whom companies in which I have invested selectively disclose 
important information which does not become immediately available to an 
individual investor.  This practice, which has been permitted to exist for 
far too long, disadvantages the public who are investors versus the funds and 
brokers' analysts who make capital on this practice to the detriment of 
others who cannot know what has been preferentially learned until later, if 
at all.  In today's electronic world of instant communication, it would not 
create an unfair burden on any company to disclose any information it chooses 
widely and instantly.  Selective disclosure is unfair; it is responsible for 
disorderly markets; it should be unlawful.
