**Response from Joe Lanza**
Danny,
You buy your funds,and play your ideas. I really hope you score. Again "for the last time", I will say that I am sorry that Maesa's performance was less than expected. There are a lot of reasons for it, but it doesn't mean anything to you or anyone else. I can only say that I will do my best to help see Maesa rise out of the ashes. You can play or not, that is your choice!
You are right about being dumb. I should have walked from Maesa and allow the shareholders to get F--ked. However, I cannot moraly do that.So, I will work to get my money back, and that of the other shareholders. That is the best that I can do. If I had husseled you, sold my stock, and left the company, then your statements would be on target. But, you know in your heart that this is not the case. Maesa has been a disaster, no question ,but now it has American management, lets see how well it fairs.
Dan, I have never said if or when management decides to roll the stock back, the price would not drop. Keep in mind Danny, I have broken two short plays befor. I realize that the game has changed, and is still changing. But, I willdo my very best to consult Maesa's management on the pitfalls. I want my families money back also, but there are no gaurantees. Nothing quick, no smoke and mirrors, just a real deal when the dust settles. Who knows Dan, you might even get excited, maybe, who knows?
I still think that you are a nice guy, and you have a great family. I do wish you the very best.
