Patrick: Welcome back.
Joe, nice rebuttal work. I have a question for Doc and others who share his overall negative outlook for TAVA.
But first, I think a lot of you are punishing Jenkins for being candid and forthright in his assessment of this quarter.
In fact, a few unforeseen circumstances bumped some truly significant revenues up to the next quarter. Jenkins also acknowledged some weakness of CD sales in one sector, and unexpected strength in another. A hype artist would have figured out a way to gloss over such disappointing pronouncements.
Longs & shorts can debate the numbers forever (figures lie and liars figure and all that), but what I haven't heard much about is the naysayers assessment of John Jenkins. Companies don't operate in a vacuum. If TAVA is destined for the bone yard, it's Jenkins who is going to take them there.
Please catalog all the incompetencies & inappropriate moves evidenced in Jenkin's stewardship.
I feel he has done an excellent job guiding the Y2k & non-Y2k components as one entity, playing one off against the other to develop a business continuum well into the next century.
Looking forward to your responses.

Licensing...

Patrick:

I'm just putting myself in the place of TAVA Mgmt... We are basically a service oriented business that is labor intensive... Our business grows to the extent that we can throw bodies at the growing list of clients... It seems to me that licensing or sub contracting our process for Remediation offers us the oppty to grow our revenues beyond the physical limitations of our growing Engineering staff... This is me thinking out loud... It wouldn't surprise me if TAVA is doing some of the same thinking...
