Dave, Actually, I'm trying to be objective. As I said previously, I'm just looking for facts. I promise this thread that I will not lie or distort facts. I think if you review my posts, you will find this to be the case. Also, whenever I make "judgemental statements", I will state IMO before them. I feel that IOM has let down it's shareholders big time once again. Fortunately for me, I jumped out before the announcement. Although I've been there before too many times. We all are just looking to make money here. I too think IOM's products are great. But the fact remains that the company has not performed up to our expectations and therefore the tension on this thread today. Why am I still here? Good question, I guess I'm tired of only seeing one sided views on this thread which does not foster objective analysis. Believe me, I don't want to be another RR, but your latest post to me is the equivalent of an RR post (no substance and personal attacks) and I refuse to take part in that sort of exchange. Finally, please let's discuss the facts and keep our egos out of it. I think we can become more successful investors that way. rll P.S. I could be wrong with the reorganization criticism, but that's the way I see it. IMO, he should have had a firmer schedule for implementing this major change. When asked about it in the CC, he hee-hawed about just starting to think about it and it would take 2, 3, or 4 months. I expect more forethought from a CEO when he makes an announcement of this caliber. If you wish to debate it further, please post your rebuttal. I'd really like to read it.
