tmleafs26: You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But you're not entitled to character assassination. Many posters on this board have for some time (since the "new" board took over) been extremely critical of management. That criticizm has materialized in various posts often bordering on the libelous. I don't think there is one of us who own shares in NOT who have not been outraged at the lack of respect management has for retailors. The lack of transparency, curtesy offered to a select few, promises delayed - I could go on and on to infinity - about the inability of the BOD to interact with retail in a positive, understanding manner. However, to single JJ out because you felt rebuffed by her is somewhat childish. Perhaps you should find out why she acted the way she did. Could you be partly to blame? Perhaps she had a bad hair day. I always like to give a person the benefit of the doubt. In this business one has to have a thick skin. (Don't take yourself too seriously).

You say you received many thumbs for your post and you seem to revel in that small bit of popularity. Today your friend, tomorrow your assasin. Take care, often nastiness comes back to bite you.
