I feel, if Athm had any qualified people the information they could of obtained from the board was priceless. Athm board was filled with consumers of the product as well as investors. Had I of owned SI i would of charged corporations through the nose to be privy to the information and expertise that appears on many SI boards. Fountains of wealth, fools don't use.

i could be wrong but i wonder if the problem all over out nations is: Years ago there was system within America where you worked you way up from the bottom. It taught you the many different aspect of a company as well as the problems within each division of a company. Many people attended classes a U a night and worked for the company during the day. Now we just switch CEO's from one place to another so we end up with much theory and total lack of inner workings of the company. It truly might help bottom line as we dismiss and replace with less costly. It is almost a continual new bee flow, It doesn't seem to be working, however.

I only wish they worked for options only, no checks. Why, you couldn't retain any "talent" with such a scheme, and you'd be stuck with securing hackers and other undesirables like those who created Windows. The renegades. In their raw undifferentiated state of primal creative intent, free of conventional constraint, stand the doorway to potential genius and the threshold to utter chaos all in one mind. This is so true though. In most examples of positive creative success there is that belief and desire which can motivate one to great heights of accomplishment. Also true are examples of the long slow descent into the hell of mediocrity when that fire is lost or domesticated and constrained by convention. Had an interesting idea from that concept. A think tank internet group which operates to critique a company and devise novel solutions that maximize opportunities for that company. Hey, did I just suggest a stock thread such as SI? Seems no one is listening, for reasons you mentioned.

Hi ahhaha; Great post. I wonder what the eventual changes to corporate structure and stock market regulations will be from the fall out of the .com & tech crash. One of the things I'd like to see is much easier ways to replace management, as well as the abolition of poison pills. I don't know anyone who still believes that the typical corporate management has the shareholder's best interests at heart, or the employee's or nation's for that matter. A lot of the time it doesn't appear like management has their own best interests at heart either, but they always seem to lay themselves off last... -- Carl
