INSP has been a money losing venture for me so far, but levy, you make it almost worthwhile. Almost. If your humor was worth the financial beating I'm taking, you'd be the highest paid comedian since Sienfeld. Maybe you'll get your own sitcom? Please have one of your people look into that for you. Thanks, Dave

Hi all - my guess is that Horowitz's departure is writing on the wall since day one. It is a matter of if it is mutual and what he is going to do with his 5MM+ holding. A bit more puzzling is Rosenberg's situation. I wish the residence issue were the real reason, but somehow I ve a funny feeling. Jain's style is difficult for outsiders and judging from the mkt reaction, he is not winning converts with the sell side analysts. Hard to say, I am hoping for the best but I can't help to prepare for the worst. I mean, compare INSP with AETH and OPWV, INSP looks like a good buy, but with so many shares outstanding, the CEO must try to gain some goodwill all around Shaking... best, Bosco

Yeaaaap! He was asked about Russ it was mentioned Russ lives in Seattle. That question was not addressed, was it? Is Russ still a board member?

Thank you for welcoming me back, levy, our esteemed in-house, self taught psychiatrist and founder of the Post Tech DotComBomb Support Group. Reflecting on your chopped liver analysis of Sarkie...or was it Rosenberg...may I venture a fully non-professional optimistic view of the psychology and timing underlying today's announcements. Sometime, late in December, I believe, INSP iterated its earlier quarterly and annual guidance. Actual quarterly results and updating of annual guidance are scheduled for January 29. With that backdrop, it would appear unlikely that, one week in advance of the earnings report, today's announcement of highest level management changes would be risked, unless actual quarterly earnings and new annual guidance meet or exceed forecasts. A shortfall under these circumstances very likely result in a further sharp decline in shareholder value as well as undermining Naveen's credibility, perhaps beyond repair, given some of his personal history and arrogant utterances. Therefore, donning my best pair of rose-colored glasses, I conclude that next week's announcements may mitigate any short term negative thinking occasioned by today's events...On the other hand, my untutored analysis may be wishful psychic thinking and totally invalid. A second opinion, please! Your grateful pupil, Sy
