Elder - excellent point by point response. It blows me away that Brad routinely pushes away the opportunity for "free positive press". It blows me away that NVI (Brad) or ANI or any NVI shareholder would be shocked that NVI is getting bad press when the company is unwilling to proactively nuture relationships with the mainstream media. I've not touched a company in the last 20 years that has been as poorly managed as this company, and I suspect I may not touch another one (personally) in the next 20-25 yrs of my career that is as poorly managed as NVI is. Only Hollywood magic shows have more spoke and mirrors and plot lines that go on and on and one and on....without making a point or satisfying the paying audience.

NVI is a joke, and I regret putting my first dime into this company, and believing in the company so much at one point, and so much in Ray as a matter of fact, that I volunteered to help pay Ray's personal mortgage at one point.... long long long ago. Thank God he never took me up on the offer... clearly I was a sucker for investing in this company to the degree I did, with a heavy influence on comments he made to me and others, and I would have been a complete idiot to have loaned him money personally too. Thank goodness for small favors.
