What a blast from the past, both those names.
I met with Dumas once after he had stepped down (about some other business). Smart man, connected and resourceful, and he seemed genuinely disappointed that he couldn't sell the company's management to the larger scope of people he knew. He cited one or two bright spots/clear thinkers with respect to the company, but that was about it.
Jones- the story I heard was that the entire Sanswire staff, when it was a separate division, threatened to quit simultaneously if he wasn't removed as the leader, or whatever he was.
This company has provided me and my group with countless hours of entertainment. Maybe the small cumulative loss we took is the price of the ticket?
