Point taken. But replies to your post make good points as well. It is in Ken's best interest to take care of shareholders. After all, he is a shareholder as well (and family, friends, etc.). To answer your question, no, I don't personally know Ken. I was just answering elcheepo's question as to where his "concern for shareholders" was PR'd. And of course, actions speak louder than words (even words in a PR). I believe Ken is trying to benefit shareholders, as evidenced by the actions he's undertaken the last 13 months or so. If Rusty Ridge doesn't do so well, or if some of his other plans don't pan out, I doubt it would be for lack of trying. Admittedly, this is just my opinion, and I've been wrong before...but I've also been right a time or two.
I guess it's just my nature to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I wish us all the best of luck with KATX, as with all of our investments.
