I am totally empathetic to SP and to the sh's. If you were to ask me what does SP get out of a dying company, I would say he probably gets bankruptcy. NO ONE IS MAKING A KILLING BY SEEING THIS COMPANY GO UNDER. (And by the way, Shiva's college money is SP's savings. He wants his son to go to college like most of us do.) So, IMHO, no one has looted the company, but has spent the money trying to put forward Tivus' technology. Marriott probably has not been unreasonable giving Tivus this chance, but out of a $70 million redo in Philly, they didn't want to spend a dime helping Tivus get this job done. IMHO, if we had a normal contract with Marriott, our share structure would resemble 2-300,000,000 OS and the share price would be in the pennies. Marriott has pushed this fledgling company to the edge and SP believed it was our best shot. Which one's of us would have made a different decision???? Not me.
So, worn out shareholder's I understand. If it makes you feel better to attack, go to it but keep it polite. Just realize that after doing a tad more listening, I have come to the conclusion that SP is doing his best with few resources. The next 6 months will be important. If Marriott comes through, we can join Gene Wilder in declaring, "It lives!" R3
