Pam,
Your posts today have been superb. Too bad they didn't show 150 thumbs up. You addressed all points of discotent. We all want to see Edig prosper. We all want to go to Chicago as a poster suggested. What some of us question is the route we take. This, in turn, means that we have to question the guys on the controls.
Tranparency is a virtue and a great characteristic of management. All questions that have been asked for a long time now could have been answered by Fred or Robert without revealing anything to the competitors. Robert is an expert in that field. That would have shown respect towards all the shareholders that have supported the company for all these years;l it would have taken care of all speculations and negative comments as some see it; and would have validated all the positive comments we hear ad nauseum every day.
