Yessir! Mark. A "much" better analogy. Gentleman Jack is my favorite actor too <s>. You know Mark, I (hard as it may seem to believe), I really, really believed in this company back in 1996. I thought being in this business for the number of years I have; and I've seen quite a bit..Even after the CalPERS debacle; the annual meeting, and so on, I still (STILL....) thought they would do something dramatic. I guess if I had to pin a timeframe when I totally lost hope, it was oh, around October or so. I dunno what's gonna happen with these guys, but I sure wish all the longs (you, Elmo, Eric, JWW, George, old Waldy <g> and a whole buch others) get your rewards in 1998. I really do. Have a very Happy and healthy New Year, and enjoy your family. Best Regards, Joe...<OK, "Hope springs eternal" <gg>> |
