Boy Boys Boys -- A little give and take is great, but we need to keep focused on the main idea, discussing Zolt and what is happening at Zolt. Someone posted they had fires on the line, were way behind in getting other lines running, and had as yet not run successfully at capacity. I would like to see some reports backing the claims up. Rumy's basic idea is great, & the price of fiber is dropping fast. Lets hope they sell the hell out the product!

Aatkinson-

<<How about a simple "declaritive sentance"(sic-another typo?): The major contributions to the bottom line due to economy of scale is when you can increase capacity without major capital investment. Is that simple enough for you.>>

Oh, it sure is simple enough...it continues to evoke a great big, "so what!" Being the low cost producer and trying hard to catch up to demand isn't such a bad position in which to be.

Personally, I think you are too impatient and your posts have too much unsubstantiated (negative) opinion. The large capital expenditure may delay earnings, but the result is a modern and efficient new manufacturing plant. This should reward ZOLT for many years to come.

Furthermore, ZOLT did a nice job raising capital and will have little need to rely on debt for plant expansion for the forseeable future. Envious position...

Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but, frankly, your previous post put sobriety in doubt and it becomes rather boorish...

Just looking for your best, Aatkinson...

Mike
