I am in agreement with those who believe that access to Mr. HZ is a unique and positive situation that could enhance the position of the longs (believe me I am one, in at $47.50 and hanging in there forever). We must be careful not to come across as hero worshippers or butt kissers (pardon the language but it's been a long week). Be aware that potential WIN partner companies, and their execs will also be monitoring these discussions. There obviously are concerned competitors here too. Let's not put off the potential partners by being anything short of completely businesslike, and let's not inflame the competition with derogatory or negative statements either. It is sometimes unwise to challenge or corner your opponents. Also I have cringed at some of the attempts to be overly "buddy buddy" with Mr. HZ. Use professional courtesy with regard for his position. You may put him in the awkward position of having to decide whether or not to return the niceties (no matter how overdone) or to just remain cool and professional. He's not trying to be popular - He's trying to compete in a very tough business. No offence intended, and let's pretend we are in the boardroom with the partners and competitors when we post. Good luck to all especially me at $47.50.
