I tend to agree with you Plums about much of what management does being behind the scenes. I have noticed that as time goes on, with increasing criticism of management and inversely, praise (deservedly) of Quinton... Bick and Barker have slid back a bit and Quinton seems to be doing more of the interviews. I'm sure this was a very calculated move. As a result, we the shareholders suddenly see less of the former figureheads of the company. This leads to speculation that they are doing nothing. I personally have a hard time accepting that, but it is possible and it definitely appears that way on the surface.
I just listened to Grandich's show with George and he commented that some of the criticism of management is deserved and that EVG management has informed him that this issue will be addressed by the management to the shareholders. (I'm not sure if we retail investors will be informed, or just the institutions, but one way or another I'm sure we will find out.)
