You said"The message I got from the structure of the meeting is that Harry is an active CoB relying on Howard and Rip to run the company. No matter what you think of the personalities, this separation of duties is to our benefit.

Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking this is not a part time job for Harry.

I was standing in the back of the room waiting my turn to ask a question when Mr. Espy (sp?) made his lengthy anti-prop 2 presentation. I was a bit surprised at his earnestness in light of the proposal's previously announced resounding defeat - seemed like piling on. Espy was followed by another anti-2 speaker who made a speech and left the microphone saying he had no question - when he tried to return to the mike, two fellows tried to pull him away. The second guy ended with a threat to Harry over his reelection. Both of these speakers ignored the printed rules for shareholder questions. Silly stuff, IMO.

I thought the same thing about the piling on. When I spoke with ESPY he seemed very sincere about helping IDCC and I tried to open the door for him. IMO He had the chance when he spoke at the ASM to suggest some type of help he could afford but chose to talk about a proposal that was history.

Bottom line is a few think he could help IDCC but in my conversation with him as well as his friends led me to believe our management team is doing just fine. I know a lot of shareholders that own many shares and none of them would suggest how to manage this company.

In their words not mine they tell me If I didn't like the investment I would be gone.
