Permit me to elaborate on Surfski's report. IHUB was shut down to me for three days. I probably traveled the farthest distance of anyone and took some extra time to hang out with a high school buddy in SLC. WIV, Surfski, MzeiToTheMoon, and I got acquainted, and that part of it was the most fun we had. Had the votes not been counted at that time, I am confident the four of us could have demanded an audience and kept the meeting going for several more hours. Voting, however, was strained. The huge number of abstentions may be telling everyone that regime support is waning.
The meeting was what many of you feared it was going to be: SameO. SameO. I am trying to feel embarrassed for Esposito, especially if he was unaware of the CEO's commentary before it was delivered. Management remains adamant about establishing a formal business/marketing plan, even though those plans have been taught in every MBA program from Harvard to Stanford for the last 100 years.....
I hope Esposito can find his way to really take over the running of the business. We need an engaged CEO who actually shows up for work in the morning. I had a good chat with Doc Shannon. He is a scientific genius and, IMHO, is just not getting the business support he needs.
No mention was made of the CEO's medical condition that was alluded to here on IHUB recently. No one was identifiable from the Florida Group....the bunch that voted back in the status quo.
There's not much left to say, so I will end my commentary and bid you all Happy Holidays.
