it will be interesting to see if Haas gets a retainer fee in addition to meeting fees. No problem paying people if they are serious about doing something with the company, just don't want it to be one of those companies where they take out what they can in salaries, consulting fees, etc.. so that everyone makes a buck but the shareholders. Then our only hope is to catch an uptick on hype or speculation (which would mean dumping our shares on the next set of schmucks)... but like I said, I'm remaining optimistic.
