I have not seen any mention of Chairman Mike Donatelli's remarks from today on this forum. As I said to my reps in an email, "anything requiring this much salesmanship belongs on a used car lot." It's actually nauseating. Any of you that heard him deliver in person are a better man (or woman) than I, for being able to sit through it.

As a newcomer here, I'm not sure what the limits are for a single post, but I'll try to cut and paste for your viewing pleasure. If it does not show up in the next window, you'll know I failed. But track it down on the ALPA website or attached to the Fastread eamil that was sent out today. It's worth a read, and should instill amazement and apprehension in everyone.
