doingthejob/aatozz,
I guess I have to remind you of one other time that you thought you were pulling some strings. You weren't the puppeteer, your idol the Randy Man just pulled your leg - blew you off with a promise of a dinner date to discuss your suggestions for your "conceptual in nature" plan to rehabilitate your little conglomerate. This was another time when aatozz/doingthejob, didn't do the job - he got jobbed!. The time the pompous windbag, came away feeling very deflated and humiliated. No one's your puppet, doingthejob - you're just a little jerk on Randy's string.
You were so pumped up with your own importance, and your description of the caper is just brimming with noble effort, intrigue, elaborate planning and promise. What a pity that the whole thing died on the vine - especially with you and whaler embracing it. Maybe you should go back to the Agoracom forum and explore some vehicles of communication and bridge the obvious broken relationship between you and those that you promised to keep informed.
If this doesn't keep us laughing, nothing can! Too funny!
Re: 1st Set of ISM Shareholder Survey Results

I did not mean to be kurt (1),or disrespectful, but I am in pursuit of what is best for ISM and its shareholders. We can, on this forum, mould(2) the set of questions, clarifications, and answers, through intense discussion and dialogue, that all are looking for prior to the ISM annual meeting (and beyond). This survey vehicle, with more rigid controls, allows us to communicate, collaberate(3), and express our views as ONE. This iterative(4) approach of discussion, collaberation(3), and eventual conclusion will take some time, but I believe that we can achieve our common goal of establishing a direct line of communication with ISM management to address the "big" issues. I am, in no way, saying that we should engage ISM management aggressively. We should take a conservative, if not ultra-conservative, position so that everyone who believes in the ISM story wins. Create shareholder confidence and you will create demand for those who want to own and buy ISM shares. Lets explore these vehicles of communication and collaberation(3) such that we bridge the obvious broken relationship between ISM management and its shareholders as that was the most contentious issue from the survey. Whaler, this is an incredible opportunity. Lets embrace it so that we all win!

Editor's Notes
(1) Word not in dictionary, intended meaning unknown. Was suggested by some that this was given name of someone aatozz was impersonating, later used as nickname describing his slick style - Kurt Buzzword
(2) Intended meaning unknown, may have been a suggestion that excess moisture and failure to get dewatering permit was resulting in growth of fungi in the computer at the ISM offices.
(3) Word not in dictionary, intended meaning unknown. In hindsight this may be a word describing a practice by survey takers and AGM trouble shooting consultants of using words that they can't spell to impress readers and give the impression something spectacular was going to be done. It may also be a deviation of the word aberration, meaning "unsoundness or disorder of the mind", which also appears to describe the judgement of anyone suggesting this caper.
(4)Usage of this word is questionable. May have different meaning in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where the writer
travels in big important circles. In the rest of the world it means repetition. This doesn't seem to have been the intended meeting as the Prospective President of the Prospective Association of Inspiration Shareholders only asked one question, and was too stage struck to repeat it.
Note: The author of this battle plan and assault on the AGM, later clarified the meaning of "conservative", as it is a term that is confusing and misunderstood in the GTA. His clarification follows:
When I refer to a conservative, or ultra-conservative approach, that implies that is it non-confrontational. I am trying to construct a "civilized" framework by which ISM management can address the major issues associated with ISM after the members of the forum have "short-listed" their issues through dialogue and discussion. Again, this approach, conceptual in nature, is subject to the scrutiny of this forum, its members, and anyone else that has constructive input.
Respectfully,
aatozz
