Reading between the lines of recent posts, I'm getting the sense that many of you may think Scott has outlived his usefulness as TAVA IR, and you're too kind & civil to come right out and say it. You seem to be suggesting that Scott has taken this stock to a certain level, but lacks the expertise and/or experience to waltz with the 'big boys'...OR it could be that in our disappointment with the recent price action, we're using Scott as a handy scapegoat. I think SI investors need to make up their minds on this question, because we may be approaching a crossroads of sorts. I do believe that contributors & lurkers on this thread have enough commitment and credibility to force the issue with management if they wish. In light of the fact that TAVA has arguably, darn near the most compelling story in the entire stock universe, you need to ask yourselves: (A) where are the major mutual funds & institutionals? I think we're still stuck on 12. (B) Is TAVA truly getting their story out there in volumes necessary to attract new investors? (C) Does Scott have the requisite reputation to command the respect and attention of the higher echelon institutional players? (D) Does Scott know enough about the Y2k issue and TAVA's remediation positioning, other than a modicum of laymans knowledge, to effectively present TAVA's story to a sophisticated, though woefully uninformed Y2k investment community ? I know of a few other issues that Scott represents. They are not major players to say the least. Does anyone know of any highly credible stocks that Scott represents? In other words, Scott may have come on board as a small-time IR for what was then a small-time company...early TAVA. TAVA is no longer small time. I surely don't mean to be unkind here. Scott has done very well in the early going & he's a friendly and cooperative guy. I just thought I'd get the question of his continued effectiveness out on front street so we can deal with it realistically. Any thoughts?
