Thanks for the post, Surfman.
I looked up this award, and it does seem to be of significant merrit. The award is given to the top 100 companies in the Philadelphia area that have shown the most growth in the last 3 years. Since the award was only just presented a couple of days ago, I was unable to find out exactly what kind of growth they experienced 2005-2007.... which is the period of time they would have been using to evaluate them for the award. When this information is available online... If I find it first, I'll post it. If anyone else finds it first, please do the same. In looking at some of the other companies that won the award last year, I will say that some of the growth they have achieved is AMAZING... so it IS very likely that NSS is indeed quite capable of buying as much rubber chunks as we can make. Also... this is almost the end of 2008, so whatever we will see regarding their performance to get this award won't even take into consideration what they've done so far this year.
