Steve you say

Lets...focus on hard facts and more positive thoughts and ultimately help ourselves.

I say that in order to create a stronger company, we need a more proactive BOD. These are highly compenasted individuals who have shown little inclination to increase shareholder value beyond the needs of one individual entitiy.

You say the past is the past, but this present quarter we have to pay $4 million in deferred taxes. Please someone give me insight as to why my theory that a portion of these taxes isn't being used to make the 2006 dividend non-taxable is wrong.

Sometimes hard facts and positive thoughts contradict each other.
