Call me a push over for commitment but I too am energized by Mr large putting up his own shares to secure monies needed to futher finance the cost outlays to finalize deals that will be some out side the umbrella of TRBY. True grit. I spoke to him at length yesterday and came away with the feeling that senitive discussions are the cause of the recent silence out of the company and not the lack of initiative. I will e-mail him today, my appreciation to him for this gesture to keep the shares count stable and show his confidence about TRBY's future. Classic case of "put your money where your mouth is" Good stuff Married with children
