Thanks Bob for the clarity. I do agree that hallowed board rooms are for places where respectable cigar smoking elder types (no disrespect to ya women out there) can sit around and decide where they want to play golf next week or what they are going to do with their maturing jumbo CDs . This my friend is a company that does not have an extremely reputable past, the players may or may not be on the up and up, and many of my friends and new SI buddies have invested a lot of money, most have backed themselves into a corner with this one, and the last thing I want is a cramp elder statesman taking orders and sitting with their thumb located inside the 'ol spincter. I'm not saying Jim would not be a logical choice or even is an elder statesman (I have never met Jim in person), I for one do not want a yes man or woman on this board.

:-)

p.s. Not having followed INAX over the last six months, but that may be why you had to replace the CEO/President. Too many hallowed types on the board!

Robert,

With all due respect, I think Vince would be an ideal candidate for the job. I used to be called a pit bull at McDonnell Douglas but I was very effective...that's what counts. Yes, I used to sit in meetings with corporate VPs (I called them puffer pidgeons) and would tell them exactly what I thought. I wasn't worried about hurting someone's "feelings", I just wanted to cut through all the BS and GET SOMETHING DONE IN MY LIFETIME!!! You see, time is MONEY!! and that is one concept the VPs understood.

I retired early at 55 because of profits from investments, and as soon as I announced my retirement the management solicited me to come back and work as a consultant for an ungodly salary. I, of course, said no because if I wanted to continue working I wouldn't have retired in the first place. Can you imagine? ....they still call me from time to time for my opinion.

Yes, there is a place for those (like Vince) that "tell it like it is". Such people think "outside the box" and cause things to happen.

Vince has all the attributes it takes to either force things off dead center or know why!!!

At $0.10 per share it's time for a change!!!!

Dave

p.s. I, like you, don't any longer own any MDIN (sold at a huge % loss last year) but I still own enough NPEC to choke an elephant! That is my interest here...NPEC's ownership of MDIN shares.
