I personally think that any CEO who chats their company is walking on thin ice. IT is better that he would have never shown up at all. I must say that as one of the most ardent supporters of INPR on this thread for several years, I am very disappointed in the results. I was expecting $50M and anything less is just not acceptable. Del can be thanked for giving INPR a strong technology position for the enterprise, and this is evidenced by the big deals that have been announced. I must take issue with the juvenile name callers on this thread. Del has done some fine work at INPR. However, Everybody knows that the street is driven by quarterly results. His failure to produce even marginally decent revenue growth is a major failure IMHO. I am sorry, Del, but you just lost my vote of confidence. You have failed in one vital area. Share holder value. I will hold my shares long enough to participate in the next shareholder's meeting. I expect that to be an interesting time. Other than that, I fail to see any reason to stay in INPR.
