Honorable? This is a disgrace. This is an abomination. WSGI is dying on the battlefield, and Col. West is just walking away. What the h*ll is honorable about that?
As to this resignation, how is it a surprise?
How is it not a surprise? You personally built up his character and credentials on this board. Now less than a year on the job, we find out that it's all a lie. He's a quitter and a failure. These are not characteristics of someone who is "honorable". And to add insult to injury, he's leaving at time when the company desperately needs help completing last year's annual report. I can't believe our Chairman didn't feel a responsibility to oversee its completion before he left the company. This has to be one of the most irresponsible, incompetent chairmen we've ever had. You really know how to pick 'em, Indy. I wonder if you ever get tired of being wrong all the time.
IMO the only slightly "honorable" gesture the Colonel could have made was to return all the shares he was awarded. After all, he accomplished nothing and wasted a whole lot of our time.
