LOL, not on me because I don't care. On you... Call for an election of new board members. We are a privately held company. If you want to effect change, get a new board that is dedicated to doing this thing. I am on the current board. I will support you in doing this. Once you have a new board, then the new board can do what is needed infrastructure wise. Ken, I am not opposed to what you want to do, in fact I support you doing it. But I am not going to do it. And waiting for me to do it is an automatic death knell. And trying to blame / shame / guilt me into doing it is doomed to failure. "I am not Catholic" as I like to tell my wife. I don't do guilt. There is a procedure which we probably legally have to follow. Use that procedure to re-energize the company from the boardroom out. Run a hostile takeover. !!! :) John W.
