Thanks for starting the board. Looking forward to a great '08 w/this co. Lock up for the IPO just expired last week, I think it was the day b4 the earnings. This may have contributed to the selling pressure. Hopefully the new CFO, who comes from good co's, can garner the the exposure this co deserves. Her background:
