Jack, I hope you reconsider. I think the varying views on both the I* and G* boards are valuable and I don't see the strong win/lose sentiment that was once present. Granted, the G* camp feels its business plan is superior and that the bent pipe/cdma approach has advantages over the Iridium's tdma based sat switching system. Those are opinions, not to be taken personally. Iridium supporters feel the company has out performed Globalstar in reaching all its milestones thus far and it certainly has. However, I think everyone feels there is a vast market, room for all, and that both will succeed. Same with ICO. If we are wrong on that, we are all screwed. I agree that if Iridium fails (which I don't believe is an option) Globalstar will be in trouble too. I think the discussion over the past several weeks on these boards has been enlightening and stimulating without personal attacks. We had that last spring when Chinagate erupted and the board handled it quite well by forcing those who wanted to argue politics to go elsewhere and they did. Stick around Jack. You have made a valuable contribution and I want it to continue!
