Clamenza, Some good points. One factor that I think gets overlooked is that while management keeps us well informed, we still don't know but a fraction of what really goes in inside of DCI. (and it has to be this way) By this I am saying that while we see the actions management takes (or doesn't take), we are not always privy to the reasons and facts that generated the decisions that result in actions taken by management. This is why it is sooo important to own stocks with management that you feel you can truly trust and ideally have the same ultimate goal as the shareholders of the company. On the other hand I don't see the harm in people on SI discussing possible actions management can take. I only think this becomes an issue when based on partial information some feel that specific action must be taken. (which isn't too often) Here's to hoping things improve for all of us later in the week, James

Clamenza, You write: " It appears that we have some here who are not happy with some of the decisions from HQ. We need more PR......We need to buy back more shares......We need more statements......We need this......We need that...... ". Since I've weighed in on all of these points in the past few days, I assume I'm among those being targeted. There are some of us -- me included -- who are not happy with our stock price. We are down 26% on the bid in the past 11 trading days. Is that supposed to make me happy? Am I to assume everything is just peachy? I thought one purpose of this thread was to provide a forum for people to express opinions about ways things might be handled differently to (potentially) avoid problems from repeating. Did I get it wrong and we're only to express happy thoughts here? I first got into DCI about a year ago and started posting shortly thereafter. I've probably talked about lack of PR being a problem *(IMO)* 5-10 times since so at least I'm consistent. AND, as long as I think stock price is an issue, I'll continue to think lack of PR is an issue. Some people don't care about stock price; at least that's what they say. Presumably it could go down to 10 cents and they'd still be waiting patiently for Joe to come through on his white horse. Other people evidently care a lot because they've watched every 3 cent movement for months on end. Others -- like me -- tend to get upset when they come home and see their net worth down another few thousand dollars night after night. Maybe we could go down to 10 cents, not lose any stockholders, and Houlihan would still come through with a buyer. Personally, I think *that* scenario could use a little help from a fairy. It just makes a lot more sense to me that our buyout chances would be enhanced, our stockholders happier (at least those that care), and talk about things like exchange listings a lot more relevant if our price was up where everybody says it should be; someplace North of $3.00. But -- maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we have enough buyers. Maybe we don't need any PR to try to get more. Maybe everything really is peachy. If somebody can convince me of that, I'll promise to just think happy thoughts from now on and I won't say anything questioning here. Until then, though, I'll probably continue to say what I feel should be said. I should probably also begin to pray every night that Joe Murphy doesn't get hit by a truck because all the things you say towards the end of your post about us having all our eggs wrapped up in him are true. Dan Note: I hope bgtit comes out with his guns blazing tomorrow so I can sleep better tomorrow night.
