JDP, Remember I said the plan is "tentative". The only reason I have decided to at least start to organize such a plan is because I no longer trust Wilson's ability to lead us in a positive direction. If he fails as usual come the conference call, you sure are going to feel a hell of a lot safer knowing that there is an organized movement that you are a member of that intends to force some change in management. Leland Wilson gave a time limit of 6 months. He did not execute and deliver within the stated time frame. Do you want to feel as though you have been caught with your pants down as the organized hedged shorts begin to dump their long positions to scare more longs into selling if and when Wilson fails to deliver as promised by the conference call? If the individual investors all hold strong come no news time, the market makers can absorb any shares the shorts care to give away in order to continue their plan to cover at the lowest price possible. We all know now that the company isn't going bankrupt and that even without a domestic sales partner it can continue to operate on established domestic customer sales and international sales. I am sick and tired of sitting on mediocrity. The "quick" earnings gravy will rest on the domestic partner. The slow gravy will come with the expansion of the global market.

Thanks folks, My offer wasn't posted for even 30 minutes and I already have 5 responses covering over 125,000 shares. Good to know that there are folks anxious to get things organized. I will keep everyone informed as to the number of people/shares that are committed to the suggested change. Those who are not SI members can e-mail me at vladpm@sprintmail.com and I will add you to this young but rapidly growing list.
