THE POINT........... You can't separate Bob Gruder the man, (heart and mind) from ALYD the company. What ever Bob Gruder "the man" says in a public forum or to the media will have a direct effect on ALYD the company. I find it very odd how you are trying to twist your way out of this one. If Bob Gruder the man, heart or mind, misrepresents the truth or makes misleading statements, it could have a dire effect on ALYD the company. As I stated before, If an investor reads the article and buys stock under the assumption that Bob Gruder has said the company is now profitable and has been since Q2 of 1997 and then later finds out that was a lie, who do you think he would go after ? Bob Gruder the man, his heart, his mind, or ALYD the company ? NOW BACK TO THE QUESTIONS YOU MERRILY SKIPPED OVER ===================================================== 1. Is what we have heard about ALYD's top man in Europe quitting true, and if it is true why did he quit? 2. If Gruder stated that he expected to be profitable in Q4 of 1996 and then he came out and said "Well, we are making a profit now. Two quarters late* isn't bad."* wouldn't two Q's later be Q2 of 1997 ? Was ALYD profitable Q2 of 1997 ? How about Q3 of 1997 ? Was he talking with his "heart" again, or did he somehow get misquoted, or was he purposely trying to mislead investors? p.s. you might not think this is a big deal, but I plan to look into it. I guess I will have to check with the Charlotte Business Journal to see if Gruder stated it as they printed it. If it was a misquote, then they are at fault, but if Gruder did truly say it as it was written, then I would like to see how he tries to worm his way out of his one. There must be some kind of world record for misquotations and flip flops (I think Clinton is the current holder). However, we may want to check into it, because "slick" Bob may be the new record holder.
