Dianna- I guess I was expecting a little more (not to be greedy) but why so little info on the meeting when you've always told us so much more in the past?

HEY PAL, I'VE BEEN HOLDING FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. DON'T LECTURE ME AND DON'T GET DEFENSIVE IF I STATE AN OPINION THAT GOES AGAINST LADY DI'S POST. THOSE WERE MOSTLY AFFIRMATIONS SHE LISTED..."I BELIEVE ETC" BACK OFF. IF YOU WANT TO BLOW YOUR MONEY, GO AHEAD. I'VE DONE ALL THE DD I NEED TO DO HAVING BEEN BORN AND RAISED IN SF. TRY READING THE INFORMATION OBJECTIVELY, NOT SUBJECTIVELY. DON'T GET PERSONAL AND DON'T GET SENSITIVE. THIS STOCK HAS MADE ME PLENTY WITH MY DAY TRADING SHARES AND WILL MAKE ME MORE. I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THIS STOCK AND THE IDEA OF A CEO ALLOWING TRANSPORTATION AND ACCOMODATIONS TO AN INVESTOR AND A MEETING WITH THE CEO AT A CERTAIN TIME TO ONLY A "FEW MINUTES" DOESN'T CUT IT FOR ME. AS STRONG AS A BULL AS SHE IS SHE COULD HAVE EASILY TOLD FRANK HEY BUDDY, WE NEED TO TALK FOR A FEW MINUTES AS "I REPRESENT HUNDREDS OF INVESTORS WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN QBID STOCK." SOUND FAMILIAR? THIS IS BUSINESS, NOTHING ELSE. DON'T FORGET IT.

Please, lets not get to excited about this upcoming PR. Peoples expectations are killing this stock. Most likely, the PR will state that everything is in the clear and they are waiting to hear from carriers and advertisers. They are probably leaving the office to take a vacaction because they have done what they needed to do. Everyone has to be patient. QBID WILL RISE. (Evenutally)

For those of you who doubted and said bad things about this trip should apologize. Diana really has no obligations to share with us any thoughts from the beginning of Feb she joined this board.

Does anyone remember the conversations about the test broadcast of 05/15?
I posted this on the "QBID (XII) Countdown to Nationwide Soft Launch - June 1st":
"The movie "My Girlfriends Boyfriend" was shown during the test , it was also being shown on pridevision at 9:00 P.M. http://www.pridevisiontv.com/p/grid.asp?dateFrom=5/15/2004 Since there has been rumors in the past about a Pridevision connection with QTV ,I found it very odd Pridevision would be airing the same movie as QTV on the same day. I don't know how a network gains the rights to air a movie ? Is it exclusive or not? You would hope QTV would be very aware of their competition and try to stay one step ahead unless of course it's not the competition? If there is no connection and QTV wasn't aware the movie was also being shown on Pridevision we are in trouble."
I just realized the link to Qtelevision website to the three movies is as follows : "Upcoming films only on Q!"
I am asking the question again what is the possibility of a connection with Pridevision? Betting Babe pointed out it is currently unknown who purchased Pridevision. Please review Betting Babes posts on the first few pages of the XII thread. It is interesting reading considering the the websites " only on Q!" statement.

If you had all the business questions to ask Frank, then my friend, I would suggest you hop on a plane or call Frank yourself!
As for Diana's input (thank you Diana), everyone has to make their own decisions, you take her information with a grain of salt and decipher in your own way!
But don't come off and tell us how to read a post from a fellow poster!
You didn't like what she asked, or you thought she could have asked more...well tough luck, my friend!
You got a little inside taste that QBID is real, and with a real firm intent to LAUNCH!

Any info from Diana's meeting that none of us or the general public have heard yet that could potentially affect an investment decision would be insider info. I'm sure Frank would have loved to have told Diana specifics but he can't. We should all be thankful Diana took the time and expense to check out their office and meet Frank.

Perfectly stated. We all decided today that there was nothing Di could tell us that we didn't already know without jeopardizing the rules. But secretly, I think we still just want a couple nuggets.
Before her meeting today, she told me that she would be completely honest as to the outcome. "If things don't look up to par, I'm gonna report that to the Q-family." Well, I have total faith in her and am glad she was impressed with them as humans. That's an important ingredient that investors tend to forget.
Thanks again, Diana! And thanks for giving out your hotel # and keeping us involved.

Diana Thanks for letting us know your thoughts about Frank and company. I for one am happy to be reaffirmed that they're focused on launching and that the office was a busy place. Aknowledged that any of us could have continually corresponded with Frank and also could go out and see him or the office, but I truely don't have the time for a trip like that right now. So I thank you for doing that for yourself and for sharing with us.
Thanks! dz

Thank-you Diana for the post, and for taking the time to see if things are "real" in Palm Springs.
I'll continue to be patient while maintaining a daily watch on the stock. Easy for me to say as I'm more of a long investor than an active trader... at least with the few penny stocks I have.

I don’t completely understand what all the fuss is about... but I for one would like to thank DIANA for giving us a taste of her positive trip to Cali. She doesn’t have to give us every little detail... she didn’t even have to tell us that she went.
Let’s not forget that while we are a team here... we’re all in it to make money. Including DIANA. we should feel lucky that we have someone who is as wise as DIANA sharing information with us. Sometimes I think we take for granted that she shares a lot with our little community... and she doesn’t have to. She does it out of what I assume is some enjoyment in helping people.
Instead of being critical we should all thank her. Just like we should also be thankful for people like Chuck who went to the convention and U4 for sharing his enthusiansm.
Anyhow... I’m tired and too lazy to spell check, so goodnight all. ; )

Going to give an optimistic (possible) viewpoint of why everyone is going to be out of the office for the next week.
Could it be that it's going to get so busy that they have to take a little vacation now because in the next few months it may not be possible?????????????????
Could be! Maybe not! No one really knows but one thing is for sure. QBID is going to do what it's going to do.

D, I too want to give a big THANK YOU for all that you have been doing to keep this list upbeat and informed to the best of your abilities. The demeanor to which you only respond to positive comments and let the name callers be ignored is one that we should all pick up on. You have been tactful and we all make the decision to invest what we are comfortable with. I value everyones input but at the end of the day I have to know that I did my own research and by choice either stay invested or get out of the way
I finally acheived my goal of averaging my price down to just over a million shares and am very happy to let that just sit there. I am not very good at day trading yet and am content to read, research and support the ideals of QBID. Also I have already contacted my local cable carrier and asked them when I can expect to be able to order QTV... still waiting for a call back.
Well I have rambled enough so I will go back to my wallflower self of reading the posts and anxiously watching the ticker.
TTFN, Joey

I just want to join in and say thanks to Diana for her unselfish efforts on behalf of herself and all of us. For those who would question our genuine admiration for this lady, all I have to say is if you don't feel the way we do...that's fine. We don't harrass you for your sentiment...and I for one would appreciate your doing the same. People who invest here are definitely not dummies...we are not so naive to think that Diana or anyone else has the magic crystal ball. We are astute to the fact that Diana has earned our respect and that she shares what she can of her efforts always with the disclaimer for each to do their own DD.
Normally I refrain from "getting into it" with negative and insulting individuals...but in this case I just couldn't hold it down.
I take offense to the implications that we are simple minded enough that we would bow to one individuals opinion of the state of affairs. I take offense to the disregard for all that Diana has contributed. If you want to know more about her, read her posts. She doesn't expect nor does she want the responsibility of being the "ole wise one"...she just calls it like she sees it.
Thirdly, I take offense to anyone who thinks the world owes them anything...or in this case an individual. The very fact that those who feel that way liberally express their beliefs, is enough to make me read right past their posts. They have nothing for me.
Thanks again Diana...safe trip home. Thanks also to all who contribute to this board. You are appreciated.
------------------ As Whizknock says all we have to do is launch!

I believe in Qbid, however I also believe that a fluff Pr. will do nothing for the pps tomarrow or the next few days. Also the RSI is way up, so I think I'm going to try to up my share count. If the pr is fluffy I'm takin a dive and getting back in under .01 or lower if I can before next tuesdays pr.

NITE ALL.
All of that and you still have your sense of humor Diana you crack me up, we have never met (but who knows.. Vegas is still a possibility) but you have become a big part of my fun and knowledge for getting into this stock and message board in the first place.
Pickles AHOY I say. Again, thanks for taking the time to comment on the board so well and often.
YAHOOOOOO QBID

Who were you posting to? Do they have a list of Broadcasting TV Networks that trade for less than a dollar?
I must have missed that post. Damn! I must have missed that message cause I've posted that question over & over & over on many different boards & never got that list.
Could it be that there really isn't anymore than 1 or 2 & are they really TV Networks?

I am going to get out of bed real quiet in the morning, look around the door into my living room. If I get a Qwink (that's what we call in our home-a QBID wink), I'll grab my cup of coffee, roll the chair to the puter where hubby will be, Qiss his cheek and me "gay" all day. If not, I will be going back to bed. Mama always said "Good things come to those who wait" and "If you cain't say somthin nice, then don't say nuffin at all." You all have a good night, GLTA.

I beg to differ with that statement! I'm not a shareholder in QBID but I read the threads often, and to see someone do what you are doing is simply unbelievable to me. Granted you are a shareholder but you are going way above and beyond normal research for youself and your fellow shareholders. I guess if you are heavily invested in the company I could understand your trip but then to volunteer your information to everyone else, well, it just amazes me. You girl, are truly someone special, one of the few gems around here, and I hope that someday I invest in a stock along with you!

Thanks diana for your post. I have also stopped swinging this stock. There is no need to now and all we need is 1 PR that says even 1 carrier and it will skyrocket. Comcast and others already hosted the test launch before, i would be suprised if they didn't carry it now. The bottom line is that they are the only team ready to go and people want their TV. It won't take long

Wall Street Tunes into Q Television Network Thursday June 3, 6:00 am ET Successful Industry Launch Generates Interest from Carriers, Advertisers and Investment Leaders
PALM SPRINGS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2004--Q Television Network (Pink Sheets: QBID - News) announces details surrounding the results of its industry launch, which began June 1.
Within the first day of the network's availability on Intelsat America's 7, 129 degrees West, Channel 1, Q Television received considerable response from potential carriers and advertisers seeking more information regarding the network and its anticipated public launch.
As a result, network executives will travel to New York City June 6 - 11 to meet with private equity funds, hedge funds and securities dealers. All of these firms have indicated a strong interest in the upcoming launch and the opportunity for equity participation.
In addition, the executives also have appointments scheduled with cable companies and advertisers to present the current direction of Q Television Network.
"We anticipated that the soft launch would generate lots of inquiries regarding the availability of Q Television for carriage and advertising," notes president Frank Olsen. "Yet we were amazed how quickly everything has moved forward within the past 24 hours."
The network expects to announce major contracts within the coming weeks.
About Q Television Network
This television network was organized to create and develop a network devoted to providing television programming for the gay and lesbian community. While the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the viewing public. The company's programming will be available on a subscription basis to those desiring its programming. The network will broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Safe Harbor Statement
As a cautionary note to investors, certain matters discussed in this press release may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such matters involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including the following: changes in economic conditions; general competitive factors; the television network's ability to execute its business model and strategic plans; and the risks described from time to time in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
For more information regarding carriage and advertising opportunities, contact the network at 760-323-4455.
It won't be long now, my friends!

We are going to have people (naysayers/bashers/call them what you want) gripe about: "considerable response from potential carriers and advertisers seeking more information". Here is where people are going to say, Fluff Fluff Fluff - nothing solid. However, it is more positive than some of the other PRs that have come out.
Also, "As a result, network executives will travel to New York City June 6 - 11 to meet with private equity funds, hedge funds and securities dealers. All of these firms have indicated a strong interest in the upcoming launch and the opportunity for equity participation. " Is this why the offices are closed? Can't see why they would close everything down for Friday and Monday with just the execs gone to NY? Hopefully it is like it was said before, they anticipate a great deal of business and are resting up for the on-slaught. (that was not quoted but the same meaning).
Can anyone tell me who they think the private equity funds, hedge funds and securities dealers are? Is Q trying to get the final private investors lined up for backing the company? These are not advertisers are they? I wonder if they had such a response that now they have ammunition to go to these people and say, "Look what we have in the way with advertising right now, just with the soft launch, now, don't you want to come on board?"
I know with the vast array of intellect on this board some one can enlighten me? Thanks.
