DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS 5WOE WOE WOE LyinTed. Bill has not been a slacker. In fact I think he has probably worked very hard and deserves more credit than what you have implied. This company came close several times to completely folding over the past five years and he managed to keep it together.
Now saying that my concern is where we are at and what needs to be done going forward requires another skill set that does not complement Bill's strengths. Doing JV with other companies and working on the PR side is not his forte. Time changes how some things get done. How things got done in the eighties and nineties does not work today. New skill set required. Some players have adjusted to the new paradigm, others have been left behind.
My argument is it is time to pass the baton off to someone who can take what we have and move it forward. New skill set required.
