Tim you know we've all complained about HLIT's policy about press releases. You call it conservative, but I call it foolish. Maybe they can't announce every customer, but they could do more to raise visibility instead of taking the opposite extreme.

I believe they could have maintained a price a little higher and definitly purchased New Media for less shares with better PR. That's the beauty of building your stock price, you have more to work with when you go shopping for complementary technology.

Why not make some announcement on the same day that another company has a big announcement to piggy back on the move? Why do you feel better served with an under performing stock? What makes you think employees are happy sitting on worthless options? It just doesn't make sense.

Regards,

Mark
