Spoke, I respect you for all of your very contributory posts, and the points you make are telling ones. We share your suspicion of mgmt in general due to the Enron fiasco, et al. Since we are close to the NVC situation, I believe we can make certain judgements based upon the quality of the individuals involved, refelecting upon their efforts in turning the company around and achieving the signal event we now find ourselves upon: the (final) issuance of numbers and release of the prototype for outside evaluation. I'm not even suggesting that we cut anyone any slack. They arrived at NVC with blue ribbon credentials, and they have delivered as
advertised - or, at least -will have done so by 12/31. by all accounts. IMO, they have earned our good will, and, at this parlous time in Tom Cooper's life, it would be considerate for us to extend him the gratitude and good wishes that I believe has earned and so fully deserves. JMHO
