SEBASS, you're obviously in an irritated state-of-mind when it comes to management, and much of that, IMO, has to do with the depressed pps since the reverse split. I'm quite sure you wouldn't be complaining if GTE was asking for your vote to increase the AS back to 1.5 billion if the current pps was at, say, $10? Personally, the value of my shares has dropped over $34,000 since GTE reversed, and became listed on the AMEX, but I still believe in the management team, and the potential for much more growth in this company still exists, IMO. Back to management, this is from a follow-up post I made tonight on Yahoo........by: the2andonly 07/19/05 11:22 pmMsg: 3181 of 3192 If management does a good job then my investment will be a money-making investment, and over the last 6+ years, management has done a good job, PERIOD. I don't worry about how much money Huff and Co. are making, or will make, I'm only worried about my ROI. I know nothing about running a telecommunications company, and I have no desire to start making GTE corporate related decisions now. The moment I no longer have confidence in GTE management, then I'll quickly sell my shares and move on. That day, 6+ years and counting, has yet to come. They want my vote, and they've got it. And they'll continue to get my vote(s) as long as the company continues to grow and prosper. As the saying goes, "Don't tell me how to run my business, and I won't try and tell you how to run yours." And it makes investing a lot less complicated...........SEBASS, my mindset as it pertains to GTE is much different than yours, but in the end we all want the same thing, and that's to make money with our (GTE) investment. Good luck.
