"and Baroni is the real deal"

I've always concurred and that's why I would love to see him fill the C.O.B. position. That being said, I find it hard to believe that his role was ever confined to simply providing an assessment of PDSG's operations. In other words, I don't see him as simply a hired gun who will avail us of contacts simply to get contracts or to modify the operations so they are more suited to getting those contracts. Unless of course that modification involves a material change to the entity from which HE (ie Baroni) benefits directly. And looking at his history and current business thrust, I see that as something M&A related. Perhaps it's coincidental, but it IS interesting to me that the SHM was moved out just as this was developing. We'll see.
