Sentinel,
As long as we're leaving preconceptions at the door, I'd like to add an item to your good idea.
I've read many times about how our CEO has "ruined OUR momentum", following a great PR with an S-8 filing. I see it totallly differently.
Let's compare him to a young Quarterback, putting together a new team. No offensive line, running backs can't run, and the wide receivers can't catch. ( He called it "gotta crawl before you can run).
He takes out a loan to buy some offensive linemen.
News release - we have an offensive line - many yell hurrah, here we go. S-8 filing - we're buying some running backs. "He ruined OUR momentum!"
News release, running backs win awards. Hurrah, let's go. S-8 - we're buying some receivers.
"He's ruined OUR momentum again!!"
I think you see my point - he is not filing to ruin our momentum. He is filing to get a young company up on its feet and moving toward the goal line.
(okay, the picture of John as a young Quarterback was pushing it a bit....)
