Kevin, I don't think he would have said that unless he knew that Reidel was under the gun.

Jin. Ira da man!

.....Kevin...don't forget that the shareholders don't manage, and that ATXI management holds only about 1/3rd of the shares. I believe the majority of shareholders wanted management to make some moves. Read the old ATXI posts on Yahoo.

.....MHO is that ATXI has been a family run organization, sitting on a pot of gold, and they got caught with their pants down (not enough shares to control), and Ira was the guy who stepped to the plate and made this home run.

.....IMHO this was a stroke of genius by IRA, and he pulled it off with style.

Re. ATXI mgt: You could tell from Ira's tone that he was pissed about Riedel et all jerking him around and "embarrasing" him w/ the denial pr's and the "talks w/ persons representing themselves to be from Firamada" quote. No dragonslayer would take--or forget--that.

That personal affront and the collateral attempt to sabotage the deal cost those boys, as of that moment on Friday, their jobs and parachutes. No warrants, no salary contract (as was extended to Myriad's mgt. per Ira today), no moving expenses, no collecting money at "Go." You reap the wind when you mishandle a deal in a situation where you're causing a co. to lose money that should make $.

Moral: Old Southern proverb:
"Don't call the junkyard dog ugly 'til you're safely through the door."

O.K. fans, an encore:
"Diplomacy is saying 'Nice, doggie!' to a ferocious dog while you look for a rock."
