Andrew, that's just about the longest post I've seen you make! <G> It's also a very reasoned post, IMHO. I see the posts about being on the NASDAQ in the 4th quarter and I cringe. The revenues that were projected to be realized by May became June and now it's October if I recall correctly. Remember that commercial that said "Where's the beef?" Well, that's what needs to be seen. While the Babe Ruth League deal is great and serves a very worthwhile purpose for the boys who play, I never believed $50M would be seen from it. No way. Not in one or two years together even. Maybe cumulatively after a number of years, but not this year. I also happen to agree that, as of this date, the Signature deal is the closest to producing revenue. There have been some fairly tall rumors floating about. I'd like to see just one of them come to fruition. Just one. Then I think my frustrations will be eased. The business plan is what has kept me here. But let's see some results, some revenue. Or Robert Gordon removing that revolving credit agreement or re-pricing its conversion. As far as Hwang and his division, I do realize they're just getting up and running so I personally am willing to allow time to see what they accomplish. I think that - for me - is what really keeps me here just now. The other night, on CNN, there was a brief story about IBM - Gerstner talked about their plans for providing "ecommerce solutions" and it was nearly exactly the same plan/ideas as laid out for Hwang's division. I think that division of TSIG may be at the right place at the right time. We'll see what they come up with. Well, I'm rambling... Anyway, I for one appreciated your post.
