Suzanne, <<It's time to get out of the bluejeans and into the 3-piece suit.>> I'm not sure that's the best analogy, as Goldman Sachs recently made it known they were going to five dress down days a week. Having more jeans inventory in the closet may be closer to reality. I believe your response to SRX7 represents, from the true long's perspective, a great summation of where we have been and where we are headed. A stock with as much attention and shares as TSIG was due to attract an army of quick buck artists. I remember seeing a recent post on RB that stated "I've been long since January" and thought about what was happening the week or two before last year's share holder's meeting. How many knot turning stomachs were there then? It's not necessary to go into the details, as every true long knows exactly what went on before and after that meeting. The Johnny-come-latelies don't have a clue. Every one of us knows that today's future has turned completely around. Every one of us knows that this company now has professional leadership. Every one of us knows that this business model works in spades. Every one of us knows that in 4-5 weeks the balance sheet of TSIG is going to look pristine. And finally, every one of us, no matter how we got here, is thinking this may be the best investment of our lifetime. Due to a schedule conflict, I am not able to join the group in Las Vegas. However, my travel arrangements to Tampa/St. Pete on Monday, March 27th are complete. It would be a privilege to meet any or all of you there. Knowing that Bob is local, maybe he could help any of us making the trip get together. Also, getting help to ask the right questions is appreciated. The future is very near. Best of luck to all of you. John
