Heppy 1,260,071 + Mav243 500,000 + Alicja + 50,000

Heppy 1,260,071 + Mav243 500,000 + Alicja + 50,000 = 1,810,071 shares bought that we know for certain on this board out of 3,040,071 shares. The highest possible short shares would be 3,040,071 - 1,810,071 = 1,230,000. Simple math! The otcshort report says 2,374,237 short shares and 3,040,071 reg/vol. The questions I have is where did the additional (2,374,237-1,810,071)1,144,237 short shares come from? Why did they count only (3,040,071-2,374,237) 665,834 shares as reg/vol when we know that 1,810,071 were bought by members of this board? I wonder if they are reporting E-trade buys (which I have) as shorts??? If so someone more knowledgeable than myself please tell me how is it advantageous to Etrade if they are reporting actual buys as shorts. I just don't understand. I say Etrade only because they have been mentioned many times as the one with NSS.
Thanks,
Heppy
