Maverick: I think that you might be surprised at the holding of some who post on this thread and then of course there are those whojust stay in the back ground. I gave my annual report away but we know the total # of shares outstanding and how many ADR's we have out there. If we can get an assesement of our strength we can then approach some of the really big holders for support. If we can get Pierre on board it will be interesting to see if we can be heard in the executive office. We are at least as smart as the people setting up this convertible - on second thoughts maybe smarter - we deserve to be heard it is our money and the directors better be doing the duty. Over on Yahoo there are some who's holdings are not small I would guess and Pierre posts over there maybe he could get them on board. Maybe you should add to your equation + revolution = $7.00 John P.S. You never know Roberta may be wrong - well she is wrong about you - you are quite a pleasent fellow - you just have this nack of asking these very difficult questions - which pisses her off, so of course she is going to say we do not count - lets see. Pierre, where are you when we need you.? John

Next time you call Roberta how about asking her how management has progressed in meeting their stated goal of improving shareholder value? Maybe also ask why management holds so few shares. Maybe we're the minority because we actually think our investment should INCREASE in value. Maybe the folks in AU think its a good thing when the price goes down. Anyway, regarding the Boating article. I find it VERY hard to believe the Yamaha 4s is lighter then Merc's 2s engine. There is NO way a 4s engine could be lighter. Yamaha had to cut weight in the lower end or is using exotic materials elsewhere. In addition, what flag waving redneck bass fisherman is going to want less performance in exchange for fuel savings??
