David, It seems if I were preaching to the choir, then the choir would be singing along and not trying to counter every piece of data I bring to the table by claiming I am lieing or out to drive the stock down because I am short or some other BS. What I see are a whole lotta people getting defensive because they want to believe that everything at LSI is perfect and the stocks performance is due entirely to market forces beyond their control. If you truely beleive that SUBSTANTIAL value can be added to LSI shares by simply marketing the company more effectively (including communicating more effectively to the broader investment community) than why don't you also call the CFO and offer your perspective? One voice will not be heard, it is too easy to ignore. A lot of voices saying the same thing might have a chance. Maybe that is my objective, to convince enough people that the pathetic performance of LSI stock over the past year is at least partially controllable and, importantly, CORRECTIBLE. By getting people focussed on this issue, and then getting them worked up enough to communicate this perspective to LSI management, maybe then LSI would actually hear the constructive nature of the message and make the appropriate changes to drive improvement. I'll make you a deal, if you and ten others take Franks idea and contact LSI and let them know that you think there is an opportuntity to improve their marketting and communcations efforts for the benefit of all shareholders (including the employees), I will never again post another message on this board....If I truely am preaching to the choir than this should be an easy price to pay to get rid of someone so irritating. No proof required, I won't accuse you of lieing, just report back here what you said and the response you were given and I will take you at your word....So, is it a deal or would you really hate to see me go?
