[NOTE: Put your earmuffs on, Brady, it's several paragraphs long.] I disagree, Terry. Free of the bad press from Wired and bad exposure from Stock Detective and tag-alongs from these threads, Zulu would have fared far better, might even have made Nasdaq on its own. You ever hear of a thing called company morale? Not on these threads. have you. Hasn't even been discussed. These threads have been replete with: "Meeeeeeee! Meeeeeeee! This company's screwing us all, let's say it over and over again on the threads! Meeeeeeeee!" Terry, if you bring a consultant into a company I guarantee you one of his first acts will be to digest morale of the employees, their spirit, if you will. The way some folks talk on these threads, they'd be most happy to see Zulu employees dreadfully arriving at work every morning lamenting: "Oh, no, not another day at work at Zulu!!!" Gasp. Indeed, about as close as we've gotten to talking about morale of Zulu employees has been the suggestion for Zulu's New York Investment Rep, Mark Wachs, to hit up on a few at the pub, after that news release debacle a while back. How kind we can be. [I was guilty of that myself, by the way.] Heck, if you're a Zulu shareholder aren't you at all interested in the morale of its (our--not Jon's, not Aleta's) employees? Well, how do you think Wired and SD and many of you have affected Zulu's employees, its leadership? How'd it all get to Meatchem? How'd it all get to Lair? How'd it all get to Green? How'd it all get to Rodgers? And the best many of you can do is moan and groan about past business quagmires of Pat Hayton. Almost as if you think he doesn't want to succeed in this. Ask yourselves: Why wouldn't he want to succeed in this? Again, why are the SIMers so angry? If nothing was there, wouldn't the ex-SIMers simply take their money and go on with their careers? That didn't happen, did it? How come? On the deeper level, isn't it true the whole history of American business deals have been predicated on complex, sometimes shady, often questionable, very confusing and greedy-greedy actions? Ask the Third World. How'd Bill Gates get DOS from IBM? What about the congressmen who retire into lobbyist firms. You bet it's all mixed up! And in his confusing situations, some of which involved alternative energy projects, how do you know if Hayton's competitors were playing fair? Was there subversion within the company with which he was involved? Is there an appeal in the courts right now? You just don't know. I don't. But so many of you wanna pinpoint Hayton's prior involvement into something which can only contribute toward the detriment of the morale of the very company you wish to perform and make money for you. Do you really want Zulu to make it? Well, then get behind it! Stop all the negative quibbling and blithering thought creation into other people's imaginations. You folks have been so busy one-track snipping at the company--based solely on Jon Tara and Aleta's standards--that you've missed a whole lot. Here the deal is happening right before you and you're not even aware of it! It really is amazing. Let me ask you this, Terry. How much ammo did the ex-SIMers get after Wired and SD promulgated their groin kicks? You have to admit that those articles were low blows and a lot of innocent investors were harmed by them. Yes, those journals gave quite an introduction, a nice first-time experience for a start-up company. Zulu got blasted right out of the gate! You said you go to the track. How many horses get to win, show or place if they get their shins kicked out of 'em, coming out of the gate? Can't you see that Zulu never had a chance to effectively link its technology (echoMEDIA) with its demographic sales and marketing (SIM) into a cohesive strategy with a leadership (the Zulu executives named above) who were perfectly capable of moving the agenda. Was the private placement money delayed due to the negativity of bad press, etc.? Did this affect those executives leaving? To sum up, what should have been an offensive business strategy instead was reduced into a defensive business strategy with a wolf-pack mentality at Zulu's heels all the way. Indeed, this affected the morale of the company and this has affected the performance of the company. That this Zulu is getting through all of this and still managing to become ZuluGroup.com, fully reporting Nasdaq-listed company should be credited instead of condemened.
