well said Mr. Bill
Im 80, for the record... still gainfully employed as a consultant. I lost $200K in the dot com crash in 2001 but ok now. Sympathetic to Al's points, but basically agree with you. Apparently some XXXXXXX posted a message to AL that was not worth replying to.
Three things you can take to the bank:
1. Frank and company will never give up as long as there is a chance of success.
2. He has way more at stake than any of us
3. If he did not see a path to success, he would not be spending his time in Oman. He loves the USA and New York City.
