I WANT TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT... People--just because QTV. arranged the schedule for my ticket--does not mean they paid for it. (I wish.) Susan was simply trying to help me by giving me flight schedule's and nearby hotel information. BUT IN FACT THAT IS NOT WHAT ACCUALLY HAPPENED AT ALL. BECAUSE THE Q WAS CLOSED FRI AND MON (SUSAN) DID NOT MAKE MY ARRANGEMENTS AND I DID SO MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING A TRIP TO SACRAMENTO TO SEE MY FRIEND ANYWAY. I PAID FULLY FOR MY TICKET AND HOTEL. I DID NOT ASK FOR ANY REIBURSEMENT FOR MY EXPENSES--NOR DID I RECIEVE ANY.
I DO NOT WORK FOR QTV--NOR DO I WANT TO. I OWN AND OPERATE MY OWN CHILD CARE FACILITY. Get a life folks--you have followed my advice on the Q for almost 5 months and now you want to question my intentions. PLEASE--GET A GRIP! I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR THE INCLINATION TO PUT UP WITH THIS B.S.
Have you all lost your minds? I am one of you. A stock holder who has posted on this board since this stock was .0001, since Feb. 2, 2004. I am not paid by or associated in any other way the Q -- I am a fully vested stock holder, just like yourselves. Trying to make a buck. We are all on the same Q side. I believe firmly that we can and have made a tremendous amount of money on the Q. Furthermore, I believe there is much more to be made.
Hold onto your hats and your stocks. The ride has just begun.
I HOPE THIS POST HAS CLEARED UP ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE RE: MY INTENTION'S AND BELIEF'S IN THE SUCCESS OF THE Q. IF IT HAS NOT--DEAL WITH IT. SELL THE STOCK AND GET OUT-IN THE MEAN TIME LEAVE ME OUT OF YOUR B.S.
I BELIEVE I HAVE MADE MYSELF CLEAR ON THIS SUBJECT. I DO NOT PLAN TO HAVE TO ADDRESS IT AGAIN.
NOW LET'S MAKE SOME MONEY. THE Q NEED'S AND DESERVES TO BE AT THE . 05 LEVELS BEFORE THE LAUNCH DATE OF JULY 1, 2004.
GET OUT THERE AND SEARCH FOR DUE DILIGENCE. FIND ARTICLES AND OPINIONS. SEARCH THE GAY/LESBIAN AND STRAIGHT WEB FOR RELATED SUBJECTS. POST ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY BE HELPFUL IN THE PROMOTION OF THE Q AND GET THE PPS UP SO WE CAN SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. LET'S GET THE NEW'S OUT THERE. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.
ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY RISK OR TRIVIAL PURSUIT?
REALITY + POTENTIAL = PRICELESS

--------------------------------------------- WELL ALL,
I THINK I HAVE REGAINED MY COMPOSURE--I TRULY THOUGHT I WAS DOING A GOOD THING BY TELLING YOU ABOUT MY TRIP TO THE Q LAND.
I MUST BE MORE NAIVE THAN I EVER IMAGINED. AFTER CRYING MOST OF THE DAY AND BEING BASHED LIKE A DOG--IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO ONE THING. IT DOE NOT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK OF ME. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING THAT WE WERE TRYING TO HELP EACH OTHER HERE. I LEARNED A GOOD LESSON. WELL MAYBE A FEW LESSONS. LOL
I ERASED ALL MY POSTS BECAUSE I WAS UPSET AND CRYING LIKE A STUPID LITTLE BITCH. I AM NOT USED TO PEOPLE CALLING ME NAMES. I AM NOT USED TO BEING IN A CITY ALL ALONE AND BEING BASHED LIKE A DOG. I AM A PRETTY TOUGH PERSON, BUT I GUESS WE ALL HAVE OUR LIMITS.
I DID THE BEST I COULD AND I GUESS IT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
RE: THE JULY 1ST HARD LAUNCH--THAT WAS IN A PR. THAT WENT OUT ORIGINALLY WHEN THE SOFT LAUNCH WAS TO BE MAY 15TH. THAT DATE BECAME THE TEST LAUNCH AND THE SOFT LAUNCH BECAME JUNE I, 2004. RE: THE HARD LAUNCH. I HAVE NO CLUE IF THAT HAS, WILL OR IS ABOUT TO BE ANY DIFFERENT. I WAS SIMPLY GOING FROM THE 1ST PR. DATE OF JULY 1, 2004.
WELL I AM DONE--WELL DONE AND OVER COOKED. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD FUN STICKING THE WIRE UP MY KAZOO AND TURNING ME ON THE ROTISARY.
I HAVE LEARNED FROM MY MISTAKES IN THE PAST AND HAVE DEFINITELY LEARNED FROM THIS ONE.

WHO IS THE FIRST QAY, LESBIAN NETWORK??
Business Wire via COMTEX

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Jun 3, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
WALL STREET TUNES INTO Q TELEVISION NETWORK; SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRY LAUNCH GENERATES INTEREST FROM CARRIERS, ADVERTISERS AND INVESTMENT LEADERS
Q Television Network (Pink Sheets: QBID) 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.

First of all, I really don't think Dragon was attacking Diana...not at all.
Anyway...about the $500 billion in disposable income. I'm not sure why we are taking these estimates of .5% of the total disposable income, there is no way QTV would make that much. BUT....looking at it realistically: The estimates are 20 million people for the targeted audience. 20 million people each paying the presumed $3.95 subscription fee gives QTV a $79 million revenue per month, and $948 million per year (excluding advertisers...and expenses of course).
I'd say that's pretty huge for a new television network .

My opinion, not that anyone needs me to throw it into the fray...
I, too, questioned Q paying for Diana's trip. It was clearly a point that brought up animosity when she announced it (and picked a partner to go with). What do I think really happened? I think Frank said hey, come out here and see for yourself that we exist, we can arrange that for you.. implying the paid tickets. And in Diana's excitement, she announced it to all of us as she understood it. If she was trying to cover it up she wouldnt announce it here, folks, but if you read her posts, she definately can go off the deep end in excitement. A good thing, cuz it keeps us all UP! If it was me, I'd hope they'd pick up the tab too. Either way, I think Frank is smart enough to know this would not be wise, and I believe that Diana wanted to go out there anyway... point being I DO NOT think, regardless of initial communications, that Q ended up flying Diana out there on a day when there's no reason for her to be there.
Conspiracy? What's Diana's conspiracy- to share all her DD with us on every stock she invests in so that she can make us rich? C'mon. Anyone else maybe I would think twice, but Diana, while I don't always agree with her posts, gives far more than most ON EVERY STOCK not just QBID.
There have been many people who say "hard launch July 1st".. it's simply been picked up that way from the previous ambiguous PR. We all know they haven't officially announced the date, but we are free to infer what we want. Easier to write than "that unnamed hard launch date in July".
And it you're taking Daina's July 1st statement as insider trading, then you must hang on to her every word and syllable.. including her denial that Frank paid for her ticket. So, that's a contradiciton in itself.
I think this whole issue is a load of garbage.. insider trading yeah right.. and if we had amazing PR today no one would have had the time to pick her apart.
Diana, probably not a good idea to have your fingers on the keyboard during emotional times, but regardless you should not be held to your every word.. none of the rest of us are.

Johnny, I couldn't of said it better. I lived some of those tears today with Diana and shared some too. All of this has me so totally pissed off, I am lost for words. I will stand behind, beside Diana until my dieing day!! Oh, another thing my mama taught me......"all it takes is for one bad apple to spoil the whole bag." I just wish you all could keep your thoughts to yourselves, bite your tongue, turn the other cheek and be on your way. I know the majority of us on here would be alot happier!!!!!!!!!!!
posted
Personally, I don't give a sh\t who paid for the tickets... I do remember weeks ago that Diana said she was taking a trip (at her own expense) to visit Q. The point is that she went, and saw, and talked, and reported. What more can you ask for? Thanks, Diana! Not everyone thinks you're evil!
To everyone that is raking our Queen over the coals: If you believe Diana has lost her credibility, then don't listen to her. If you believe she lies, then do the opposite of her. If you believe she's a villan, stay clear of her. But remember this.... when you don't make it to Vegas because you lost your chance to score big with Q, we'll have a chalupa for you!...
I can't think of one person on here that hasn't change their mind or one of their details (no matter how innocently) at some point.... myself included. That doesn't make us all rotten b@stards that need to be demonized... God gave you your short pickle, and bashing someone else won't make it any bigger!

I hear you all loud & clear. Can relate to all the thoughts and feelings!
Here's my two cents regarding someone who would spend 4 months posting confirmable DD... and posting opinion... and getting comfortable with the people on a board over that 4 month period (Feb 04-June 04).
I perceived an extremely high level of excitement from D when she mentioned going to meet in Palm Springs. In reading those posts it was obvious to me that fellow board members would read her posts prior to that "meeting" and feel some of the following emotions: extreme excitement, happiness, curiosity, concern, and possibly envy.
I was concerned for D regarding that high level of excitement. That what she thought of as a "meeting" might not be what a business man under a time crunch with lots of work to do might think of as a "meeting".
So in this excitement: 1) D may have misinterpreted some communications with Triangle prior to the "meeting". AND/OR 2) Then again, after the meeting, D may have realized things were written in her prior posts that reflected the excitement of the moment in obtaining a "meeting" & best not shown within the thread. Or 3)...
Just my opinion. Coming from a (youthful) 40ish Mom, D's posts prior to going to Palm Springs sounded very young and very excited. I don't believe she had any idea that her "meeting" would be just a few minutes. Most of us probably knew right away that D would not get the time to ask all those questions, etc, etc. And most likely a bit disappointing for D as well.
Triangle & the employees have a super important job right now... I can't imagine their stress level.
Soooo, D has shared much with this board to date. Maybe give D a break. Welcome her back with open arms. THEN remember to do our own DD, and confirm the DD that is posted here.
For now, the best thing to know is that Triangle Network & "QTV" is real, they have a building, they are a known entity (for 4-6 years now), the head people remain the same, and they are working somewhat undercover to protect themselves against those who want what they have worked for.
If you think about it, best that some posts be deleted!! Maybe even this one!

THANKS FOR THE VOTE OF SUPPORT--IT'S A LITTLE LATE NOW. AFTER FRANK RECIEVED SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH INFORMATION THAT I AM A COMPLETE LYING, INSANE, MULTI PERSONALITY, RAVING LUNITIC--I GUESS THAT PRETTY MUCH ENDED ANY KIND OF GOOD RELATIONSHIP I HAD WITH THE Q. KIND OF RUINED ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP I HAD WITH THE WHOLE IDEA OF MANKIND IN GENERAL. NOT THAT ANYBODY HERE REALLY CARES. I GUESS, I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO LOOKS STUPID HERE AND FEEL BAD.
SO I GUESS I WILL GO ON TO SACAMENTO AND LICK MY WOUNDS. THE DAMAGE WITH THE Q AND OFFICE HAS BEEN DONE. IT IS NOT FIXABLE. YOU ALL HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THAT. PUT A FEATHER IN YOUR CAPS AND WHISTLE DIXIE.
YOU WIN. I SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLAY THE GAME EMOTIONALLY AS WELL AS I THOUGHT I DID. AFTER 4 MONTHS--I GOT A LITTLE TO EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED AND BEGAN TO BELIEVE TO THE GOODNESS OF PEOPLE.
I THINK IT IS TIME TO RETREAT INTO MY OLD MODE. I STILL LOVE MANKIND--IT'S PEOPLE I JUST CAN'T STAND. LOL

I lurk here a lot, and post rarely because I am still learning (started investing in March). I view a lot of boards, including this one, and being retired, I have lots of time to study the market. In all of that research, I have NEVER found anyone that I trust more than Diana. She is a true professional and I have learned more from her than from anyone or anyplace I have studied. She has taken time to post much more information than just Q. She has many times posted her techniques and investing strategies as well. I think I'll just continue to listen to, and believe in, her, and not the childish and immature bashers trying to sink this stock. I've bought and sold Q many times since March and made some good money listening to Diana.

I think this is a great informative post. I have never seen anyone back track for a cover up of all previous comments. You made promises to many on this board and right out lied. For what ever the reason you have done so, I hope you are ashamed of yourself using others for an attempt at your own personal gain. This assumption based on your posts. No one person made this stock do as it has done. This was done by each and every individual from everywhere and not just this board. My hats off to those who did not have to lie and climb the backs of others to contribute to this task. I think a flat out full appology is needed to this board!
posted
I don't know why everyone is making a big deal about whether Di went to Cali or not. Who cares? If you base your final decisions to buy or sell stocks by what everyone posts on these boards without doing your own DD; your money probably wont last very long. I am fairly new at this myself and have gotten a lot of good info from the allstocks board, Diana's posts included, but I would never buy or sell something just because she or anyone else thinks it is a good idea. You have to research the facts and base a decision on your own. In the end, it's your money on the line, not theirs. I use a similar concept with my regular job. I am an electrician and when I do maintenance work, I have to make sure the lines are not energized when I do my repairs. If one of my co-workers tells me they have de-energized the lines, I do not work on them until I have tested it with a meter. Even if someone else is performing the work and I am the one who shut off the power, I will have them test the line prior to working on it because it is their life on the line. The same goes for stocks. If someone says this is a good stock, buy it, I will do some research as well before I buy. To make a long story short, lay off Diana. She hasn't forced anyone to do anything. Have a great QBID day.

Informative info and practices are good and she should have stuck to that. When the lies and deceit started then that is stepping over the line and deserves a verbal slapping.

I agree with everyone that Dianne has in the past gave some very useful information. I agree that she has done a lot in this board to show a positive attitude.
What i do not agree with was the point where she started talking like she had 100s of people that she talked into buy the stock. and then using this to leverage a meeting with Frank.
Before all this started or rather as this was starting I remember someone speaking up and mentioning that they are not represented by Diane. and asked her if she took a proxy vote to represent all these supposed investors that she represents. It was at this point where i seen Dianne's post go south in a hurry. She made several messages stating that she represented everyone at the board and i remember several messages being posted that she did not represent these individual. I myself posted one but for some reason it was removed form the board.
I don't want to see Dianne stop posting here as she has been very good about helping people that ask. what i do see is that there was comments made by her that where not true and could have hurt the company and fellow investors. and for this i think an apology would go a lot further then trying to explain the actions here.
My Father always said it takes a bigger person to apologize then to make excuses.

Your opening statement says it all, actually no further elaboration was needed.
The "open attacks" as you call them are not open attacks, just concern about the way things are presented by diana in this forum.
As for presenting the fears in this forum, these are not fears merely concerns about the possible impact on Qtelevision.
Now if I can make this kind of connection, what about the others out there that don't say anything and just read the posts. Those folks are the ones that can create the real problems. My point in all this is to make everyone aware of the potential problems that can be generated by not watching what and how things are being presented.
BTW, thanks for making my point about the well trafficked thread we post on. Precisely what I am referencing to. The July 1 date was posted after her visiting the offices of Qbid, making it appear, now I said APPEAR, that she had some new info. I know that this info was not real, however someone who is just browsing this thread may not realize that. ergo ....inside info.
1. Know that the SEC can and does watch this and other threads. So it can matter. Know also that many read and do not post, they as well can contact the SEC and start things going...again not good. So it does matter what is posted.
2.Know that we are broadcasting, even as we are typing/reading. The last time I checked we were trading under 1 dollar and are broadcasting, granted to a limited audience, nevertheless, we are broadcasting.
3. In reality, the projected audience is nice, however after the hard launch we will know for sure what the numbers are. Until then it is simply projections of what could be.
4. Advertisers, in this industry you chase the advertisers, they don't chase you. Lets say you secure advertisers in advance, you will start running their commercials when you hard launch, 30 days later you will bill them and provide an affidavit with date and time of when the commerial ran for each commercial that you run. You will send this affidavit to the ad agency, 15 to 30 days later you get a check for the documented commercials you ran. This happens every month. No documentation, no money. Simple as that.
5. Yes we have all seen the lists of Fortune 500 companies that are willing to advertise specifically to a gay/lesbian/transsexual community. Yes we know about the disposable income issue. Now remember that this is a niche market and while they may/maynot advertise to this market, this is their call, not ours. These projected numbers, and the potential companies can change drastically as they also answer to their board of directors and investors. They also balance that response against the potential gains of that niche market.
6. I sincerely hope that regardless of whether or not they have secured contracts that they do launch next month. I would suspect that they may have cable operator contracts, and have contacted the ad agencies with demographics and infomation regarding his network and pricing. This would be enough to get them interested and possibly give him some advertising orders to run.
enough said....I obviously have been in this industry for a number of years (25) and in the management end to boot. If you doubt what I am saying here, research it yourself with a local tv station.

First of all I love reading Dianna's posts.
Your open attacks on Dianna only serve to expose your agenda. If you were really concerned with any possible negative effect of her posts on QBID pps you would have asked her to contact you by E-mail instead of posting your fears openly on the most trafficked well informed QBID message board around.
**************Know this!***************
It makes virtually no difference what anyone writes here. You, Dianna or anyone & that includes me.
Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade under a buck a share. This one will be no exception.
Our targeted audience generates a documented 500 Billion Dollars of disposable income.
One Half of 1% is 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS! If we see only One Tenth of that in revenues that amounts to $250,000,000.00!
I haven't even mentioned advertisers yet! We will see more revenue from advertising than we see from subscriptions.
We've all seen the research lists of Fortune 500 Companies ready & willing to advertise to the G/L community.
I'm not even guessing when I tell you that this First-In-Kind Broadcasting National TV Network will produce revenues that will exceed Half a Billion within a year & may even exceed that.
Remember this. "When" QBID begins public broadcasting next month they will have already secured contracts. They will never air without them because as I said months ago when networks make it to the airwaves they've already met all the sponsers requirements. That's what this soft launch is all about.

Pharmd.. I agree with you. It is too bad that people are making this such an issue. They really should not be making financial decisions just because they read about something from someone else. People just need to let this go. These people scare me because they have no problem griping about what someone else wants to do (because they don't want to do it themselves.
I'm taking myself out of the thread her for the most part because it's becoming just a bunch of name calling when really I don't see anyone else getting off their butt to do something. Good luck to all, I will be enjoying the intelligent posts only from the side while accumulating my shares of QBID

BB > Here you have objectively, professionally and unjudgementally expressed what I haven't been able to put into words. I won't reiterate what you've said or try to improve on them...they are my sentiments as well.
I would like to add two personal remarks. One, if you'll notice the name on this thread it states July 1. I started this thread and named it based on info in the PR AND to my recollection, it was on the hotline.
Lastly, those of you (I don't know who you are and I don't want to know) who involved Triangle Television Network really should hang your heads in shame. What you've accomplished is against everything we as Americans believe in...you tried, convicted and served punishment on a fellow citizen in a few short hours. I'm ashamed to have my name on the thread...thank God I'm annonymous...only I know (and Dakota) that I was a part of this.
FYI, as a result and as author of this thread I have asked that it be deleted. I can only hope the moderator will comply.
Note: I have also read and agree with Dakota's post. As you can tell, it's heavy on our hearts tonight.

I know you have all heard about the "Emotional Bank Account". If not it goes something like this. We all have an "Emotional Bank Account" That's where we store up those good things that we recieve from others, where we store the love. Love is a deposit into your account, helping hands are a deposit, showing support, that's a deposit. I have to say, Diana, you have made many more deposits into my account than I could ever repay. I don't see this one "withdrawel" as a reason for me to move my holdings into another "Bank" I don't really know you, why this happened or even care that much. You will, no doubt get over this as will most of the true Qbidders in the long term. You are too smart to let this bankrupt all of the "emotional bank accounts" you've created. If I can put my money in a stock that has no income, no past successes, and one which deals with such a contrversal subject, I can certainly find the strength to stand by you through this. You hang in there and I hope you'll be there for me to rely on as always. It is not my place to forgive anyone, but it is my choice to stand by you in this. I have read Dakota's Missus post (no she didn't make me) and I support her position. Dakota told you that......

If you go back to, I think page 6 of this thread, there is a comment about July 1 being hard launch. That was before any accusations. Go check for yourselves.

Diana, Great job, I've read all your posts,and I think you did one hell of a job. Also I will continue to read your posts with great interest. I do have one question for you. What do you mean by QBID "NEEDS" to be at .05 by Launch Date?? Little concerned by the way I read It.
I for one, want to thank you for your posts. I've probably learned more from them than anybody else's. That's not to say that everybody else had nothing to say, it's just that yours were the most informative for a newbie like me. Anyhow, give this a few days to settle Diana... leave the board and come back later. It'll settle... You're too valuable a member on this board to be shooed away by these yahoos.
By the way, how long are you in Palm Springs for? And/or when you cruising up to Sacramento... I'm in L.A. but may visit family in Sac this weekend.
Ok... If you never post again, best of luck to you and when QBID hits, maybe we can all grab a drink and party like rock stars! Even you Yahoos... hehe.
GOOO MIGHTY Q!!!

Susan was simply trying to help me by giving me flight schedule's and nearby hotel information. BUT IN FACT THAT IS NOT WHAT ACCUALLY HAPPENED AT ALL. BECAUSE THE Q WAS CLOSED FRI AND MON (SUSAN) DID NOT MAKE MY ARRANGEMENTS AND I DID SO MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING A TRIP TO SACRAMENTO TO SEE MY FRIEND ANYWAY. I PAID FULLY FOR MY TICKET AND HOTEL. I DID NOT ASK FOR ANY REIBURSEMENT FOR MY EXPENSES--NOR DID I RECIEVE ANY.
I DO NOT WORK FOR QTV--NOR DO I WANT TO. I OWN AND OPERATE MY OWN CHILD CARE FACILITY. Get a life folks--you have followed my advice on the Q for almost 5 months and now you want to question my intentions. PLEASE--GET A GRIP! I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR THE INCLINATION TO PUT UP WITH THIS B.S.
Have you all lost your minds? I am one of you. A stock holder who has posted on this board since this stock was .0001, since Feb. 2, 2004. I am not paid by or associated in any other way the Q -- I am a fully vested stock holder, just like yourselves. Trying to make a buck. We are all on the same Q side. I believe firmly that we can and have made a tremendous amount of money on the Q. Furthermore, I believe there is much more to be made.
Hold onto your hats and your stocks. The ride has just begun.
I HOPE THIS POST HAS CLEARED UP ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE RE: MY INTENTION'S AND BELIEF'S IN THE SUCCESS OF THE Q. IF IT HAS NOT--DEAL WITH IT. SELL THE STOCK AND GET OUT-IN THE MEAN TIME LEAVE ME OUT OF YOUR B.S.
I BELIEVE I HAVE MADE MYSELF CLEAR ON THIS SUBJECT. I DO NOT PLAN TO HAVE TO ADDRESS IT AGAIN.
NOW LET'S MAKE SOME MONEY. THE Q NEED'S AND DESERVES TO BE AT THE . 05 LEVELS BEFORE THE LAUNCH DATE OF JULY 1, 2004.
GET OUT THERE AND SEARCH FOR DUE DILIGENCE. FIND ARTICLES AND OPINIONS. SEARCH THE GAY/LESBIAN AND STRAIGHT WEB FOR RELATED SUBJECTS. POST ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY BE HELPFUL IN THE PROMOTION OF THE Q AND GET THE PPS UP SO WE CAN SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. LET'S GET THE NEW'S OUT THERE. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.

I am not in agreement with this these individuals did not tri anyone. they simply pointed out word for work what was said and what was recanted and what was deleted. you are the jury you have to make a decision for yourself. i have seen enough to realise that staements where made, statements where changed, and statements where deleted.
need i say more?

If anybody has spent any time on this board, they have used the verifiable info that realityinc21 has posted. When ever anybody else posts verifiable info, realityinc21 was quick to praise that person. She is without a doubt one of the largest contributors (in a positive way) to this board.
We should be looking at the whole picture here. Look at every detail that realityinc21 has posted and how we, as members reacted to it. Was she a positive influence to this board or a negative? I hope I never judge myself has harshly as I am seeing her being judged right now.
I for one will very much miss her posts. When she is not posting, this board goes to sleep.
I sent an email to cox cable in AZ and this is their response. At least their passing along my inquiry regarding QTV to their programming department!

Dear Mr. and Ms. >>>>>:
Thank you for your recent e-mail to Cox Communications regarding our channel line up.
Thank you for contacting us about your cable service. Currently, we do not offer the QTV channel. However, we have notified our Programming Department of your interest in seeing this channel added to our line-up.
We value your feedback and work very hard to offer a variety of channels to meet the needs of our customers. Please note that we must consider a number of factors when choosing to add or delete programming. These factors include programming costs, programming ratings and the effect that the addition or subtraction will have on the remaining line-up.
Thank you again for contacting us via e-mail. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
