Alan, As you know I have recently been critical of Mark and the management of the company. But I think you overstate Mark's approach of "getting his reward from others admiring his work rather than the income it produces". As an academic researcher myself (neuroscience), of course I feel highly rewarded when I receive positive feedback from my peers. But Mark and his wife also own lots of share in the company, as a result of which I have no doubt that he has a strong interest in the financial success of SGLB. At the same time, I continue to agree with your position that someone needs to be brought on board who has appropriate and extensive business experience to help guide the company's hoped for growth in the coming years. I suppose that one could argue whether NOW is the right time or not for such a hire. Perhaps we'll get something of an answer over the next few quarters if, as some have suggested, SGLB starts to secure significant sales revenues.
