excel First of all I want to thank you for taking the time to go to lunch with Brad. I also thank you for taking the time to type it out.
One thought I have is this...
Every time I talk to Ray on the phone I get the feeling that he is a dedicated guy that has made a few stupid mistakes in the past. After awhile of reading the boards I start to get the feeling that he is crooked in some way. But then I call again and my gut tells me yet again that he is a good honest fellow. It's been back and forth for awhile on that and I think others may feel the same. The bottom line is Ray has done an excellent job of keeping the company going and that's no easy task. I commend him for that. I challenge anyone here to show that they would have done differently and gotten the desired effect of keeping the doors open. I personally think he's been in the penalty box long enough but he will likely stay there until investors can see that his overly optomistic timelines of the past are just that...the past. They wil need to see their money back and I know Ray is reasonable enough to understand that. He's a good dude though in my opinion it has just taken awhile to see that again. Again, thanks for the post. Best, Elder.
