Never said I was disagreeing with you; just pointing out both arguments have validity.

It's all about timing. There have certainly been enough malaprops to be critical of his leadership, but he also, if not initiated, certainly facilitated commitments by Materion (to some degree, although Materion has not committed to the cause as much as one would like because of their conservative Gabelli Board, meeting numbers on Wall Street and Hipple's aversion to taking chances) and Engel's HUGE commitment to the cause where Steipp has an extremely close relationship with the Exec's there and Lugee bought in - means to an end or not, the Lugee deal is under Steipp and, so far, moved the stock up 100%+ from where it was.

Never say never, but I don't think he's out because that wouldn't be a day of the earnings release decision.
