Tavros, it must be hard for NXTL execs to look at what they have accomplished so far and then look at the stock price. But every NXTL person I talked to at the annual meeting was excited about what they were doing. I talked to folks working in the Baltimore-DC local market, staff people working at headquarters, as well as senior execs. To a person, their eyes sparkled as they talked about their company. In fact, I talked to two delightful NXTL ladies on the night before the meeting when we chanced to drop by the meeting room and they were there setting up for the meeting. I say if you want to see if an investment opportunity is real, talk to as many inside people as possible. If the top dogs are pulling your leg, the lower levels will betray them. NXTL's people, to a (wo)man, affirm what Akerson has publicly stated. Oh, by the way, NXTL's employees are not only sharp but they are also delightful folks.
