Hey Bud, If you have a complaint about that hero medal take it up with Eric. Ironically, I said "I will take your (Eric's) word for it", that KB's post caused George to resign and that you were a hero. I don't want you spinning area 51 stories all over the Internet about how I'm manipulating ATHM management with my ouiji board...I mean message board posts. Your negative trash post (IMVHO),which earned the "KB is a hero" medal for you, speaks for itself and you, I don't. The question which remains unanswered by you is how you view the George ejection? Do you buy the natural progression? Do you think this is good or bad for ATHM? You are putting negative spin on the ball when you say ejection . unfortunately, the wording of your question and your prior posts (including the one that earned you the hero designation) show that you do not appear to have an open mind on this subject. You have shown a lack of impartial judgment, an unfair prejudice regarding the management. Because of your bias for a certain answer, I don't expect you to pay much attention to what I have to say. Even so, I will attempt to answer your three questions; 1) how you view the George ejection? He was not ejected. If you have proof that he was ejected then let's see it. I have seen no proof that his arm was even twisted to make the announcement. Until someone proves to me otherwise, I will continue to believe that he did it for the reasons he stated. He has a few bucks, maybe he is getting tired of going to work every day. 2)Do you buy the natural progression? My answer to that is basically the same as my answer above. In addition, I am getting tired of seeing CEO's come in the revolving front door of ATHM and then go right back out that door with a bunch of my money in their pocket. I want the next person to stay around for awhile and earn that money. I want his options long term and priced high. 3)Do you think this is good or bad for ATHM? I think it will be good for ATHM. GB has been spread thin with many responsibilities including being future CO-CEO of Chello. As you know, his family also lives on the wrong coast. This mainly depends on who they choose for CEO. I hope the board will carefully consider the background of the new CEO. They need to consider how easy it would be for negative posters to trash his background. For example I wouldn't want that new CEO person to have gone to Everest (some joker may claim that he burned a sherpa). <g>
