I wasn't saying Richard would do anything illegal and I am confident he has been around the block enough to know exactly what he can get away with. As I recall, he didn't get in trouble, but there was talk on this board that he may have been warned a few times or got his knuckles rapped. Nothing wrong with that, it's like a lawyer asking a question that the judge orders stricken from the record, it still had its intended impact on the jury. I just think Richard liked to help us out in the information department. NOT has become a different company since he has left. It is probably a more mature company that is marching strictly by the book and probably to the tune of select couple of drummers and without a full time CEO to take charge. Anyone who has been in a position to have to take charge, will know this means taking educated risks, which nobody at NOT seems to be willing to do. Much good is being said about FWR and Mac Watson. There may come a time soon when the high rollers will ratchet that company up a notch and we will see similar things happening with a slowdown in information flow and a more covert corporate strategy as the company gains value and is under the watchful eye.
