Mr. sh, <<Pessimism sure is prevailing on this thread...Just a month or so ago when I suggested that we had relatively few results, I was lambasted. Now people are swallowing it as the gospel truth. >> Yes, sir, you are correct. Other careless mistakes have been made with respect to your character as well. Mr. Marsh erroneously declared that you were the one to first bring up the subject of The Boston Red Sox. Anyone who really pays attention to the thread would remember that Mr. SER announced his eternal loyalty to that sports team. Another welcome thread distraction sub-theme has been created. But in the middle of the diversion we hear the first drips of a coming flood of converted naysayers. They will all come as our best new friends and we should welcome them as such. In the meantime the real world plods on and after talking with almost everyone in the company earlier this week I have a pretty clear picture of what is going on. Nothing that I have learned increases or decreases my risk assessment of Naxos. I see no absolute obstacles to success yet the next three months will be no cake walk either. It is essential that all loyalties be directed toward the company itself and the essential tasks which much be performed in the desert, in the board room and in the halls of finance. It is essential the best skills of all the people who are involved in Naxos be reclaimed, retained, and retrained during this time of hidden changes within the Naxos cocoon. The "old dude, brash youth" recent distraction on this thread parallels the larva to pupa to adult growth pattern Naxos is in right now. For the next three months Naxos will be cocooned, and when it finally emerges in the middle of the summer we will witness a totally transformed company. I am also happy to report that the only whining that I hear occurs on this thread. So, what else is new. :-) Keep it up everyone. Net, net...it's a pretty good thread, IMO. Jerard P
