Hello mar8tin, > i know fred smart... Wow, so do I. We have a lot more in common than just attending the shareholder meetings together! ;-) > he is an owner of novl. He has stated his position both ways now ... is he actually a holder of NOVL stock at this time? > an owner of a company has a right to call an officer of a > company during normal business hours. You are absolutely correct. And Fred has taken the liberty of exercising his right ... he has called. And I believe that we are all seeing the outcome that Fred is creating with his call ... > especially if he has a business plan that hebelieves will > benefit all shareholders. Yes! I agree! So if Fred has presented himself in a professional manner which demonstrates he is capable of presenting such a business plan, than I can't think of any reason that his call would not be returned. I know of numerous people who are able to call Stewart and get return calls. So maybe the issue is not with Stewart, but rather the presentation of the business proposition. You, of all people, fully understand that there are rules of business that are generally adhered to to demonstrate mutual respect. I have watched you during the shareholder meetings and you do not jump up and down in a tantrum and call people names and make grossly inaccurate accusations ... you follow the "rules" that you understand are part of the procedures, and you show respect for the process ... > look how much nelson is getting paid????? I'm not sure how this relates. Are you saying that high-paid people should return calls more than low-paid people? Or the other way around? I'm trying to determine how I should return my calls based on this example ... ;-) > if he can't take a call from a shareholder he is not worth > the money he gets... ... or he is very good at understanding what his time is worth, and the most likely value of what he is going to hear. Who knows ... I guess that we are both just speculating here ... Scott C. Lemon
