I for one would hate to see Hoghead depart. It has been my observation over the years that he has made some very valid points and has made a contribution to the board. I feel that all our posters contribute.

That being said I'm surprised to hear that Simc1 is only 33. I thought you had indicated once that you were near retirement. Guess I was wrong. I'm much older and have less time to wait but wait I do.

Finally I for one have never seen a consolidation that worked. From my experience if you reduce by a factor of 10 leaving us around 42 million shares the price will temporarilly be at $1.20 and will quickly fall. Probably not down to it's present price but likely down to $.75 or thereabouts. So I'm opposed to a consolidation. Won't matter anyways as the final decision would be made by Ernesto regardless of what everyone else wants.
