Clearly Mr. Noblesse, the problem is your lack of sufficient equity ownership to merit a return phone call...I indeed may be of additional help to you in this endeavor...wanna buy a few hundred thousand<G>??? When they return your call( okay, if they return your call) you might remind them that when you are a public company, you don't get to pick your shareholders....Have a great night.

Noblesse, Be careful or someone will tell you to three-five it! Great story Franklin. Other than the extra capital spending I saw little negative in the recent 10 K, in fact, I found it quite informative. Maybe I'm just starved for info being across the pond. Did I miss something? Do you have any idea why the stock is moving down smartly since the announcement? I have been looking at this as an opportunity to finally pick up some more shares - not quite as good as the 16 1/2 of December, but bought 2500 more today at 20 1/2, and have orders in tomorrow for more in the 19's. With so little news we/I fly blind a lot with these guys. I still think there will be a positive earnings surprise, but probably less than I thought in mid-January. I suspect there will be no news until mid April so we'll wait it out. Thanks for your thoughts. Ed

To the "thread," I heard from Liz Sharp, head of TFS Investor Relations, yesterday, following my question directed at her department a few days ago regarding the increase in capital expenditures in China. Ms. Sharp felt that I had attacked her unfairly, and I wish to make clear to the thread that I purposefully did not use Ms. Sharp's name in my earlier post because my complaint was not directed at her. For me to leave that impression would not have been fair. All thread participants know that I am not a "shrinking violet," and had I thought that she should be specifically credited for the non-responsiveness that I see at TFS, I would have named her. In fact, regular readers in this space will probably recall that from time to time I have had positive things to say about Ms. Sharp, who I find to be generally "helpful" within the guidelines set down by Senior Management. It is, of course, Senior Management that I find non-responsive. So, Ms. Sharp, because my remarks weren't intended to appear as a shot across your bow though some may have viewed them as such, you have my apology. Let it never be said that I engage in unfair business practices. Have a good day everyone.
