a good explanation. I am long as most of us are and I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Pohl that we are on the verge...... However he did tell me that they needed a receptionist and he did say that they were interviewing potential hires. Personally I do not care who the receptionist answers calls from (shareholders, bill collectors, the press and maybe even a customer or two). However I cannot think of one viable public company that does not have an operator that can be acessed even if there is a laundry list of potential extensions that a caller can access direct.

We apparently have some money so what is the harm with having an operator? I can think of many benefits.
