JDN & co. I know you're trying to be PC where JJ's presentation skills are concerned. A little background. I have been in the business of media communications for three decades and taught a number of such courses on the major college level, including grad school. I've been a major market TV anchorman and major market radio newsman and talk show host. I've probably delivered well over a thousand speeches in my career. I only say that by way of definition, as I don't think it's any bigger deal than you do. It does, however, give me a perspective of what works and what doesn't. JJ's last Red Chip talk was uninspiring, unenthusiastic and, from a public speaking point of view, poorly delivered. There are companies and individuals which specialize in preparing upper management people for just such occasions. Sadly, JJ, may be surrounded with the same kind of sycophantic denial that's evidenced on this board. He is a very mediocre spokesperson for a very good product. He may have all the respect in the world within the technical community, but TAVA must reach out to the investment community in these conferences and JJ does a poor job of doing this. You misunderstand and think I'm being personally hyper-critical of JJ, implying that I disapprove of his stewardship of TAVA. That is not the case at all. I just feel he needs to vastly improve in the area of public speaking, and if he doesn't, it will continue to cost TAVA institutional interest and participation. It's called SELLING! I say this during an uptic of TAVA's fortunes, so you won't think it's sour grapes. My last words on the subject.
