I don't think there is any reason to read more into Dasburg's letter than is actually there. There will be no more offers for ABX. Dasburg will be looking at other options. Whether you think this is a good thing for ABX or not is for you to decide.

IMHO, by doing this publically Daz and the puppetmasters are trying to drive the price down. Your milage may vary.

Eric,

You could be right, though I tend more to agree with DC8Driver. It would seem that Hete is going to "go it alone" with the latest SEC filing over there. Things are getting interesting around here, aren't they?

Regardless of what I think of Hete personally or his vision I don't think he's dumb enough to sit around and wait for DHL and the Daz to make their next move. He & the BOD have plans. They will press forward and modifiy as necessary as they go. If the Daz and DHL come up with enough money they'll sell. If not...

OK, just how many "C" containers will the Econoline carry??

Hugh Jass 08-10-2007 04:15 PM

Well...including Joe's "Moms Attic"...it can hold 5 "C" cans...but the 1st can has to be lifted and put in sideways. You dont see it in the photo...but you actually load the van through the passenger entry door via the use of a piece of machinery that looks like it came from the movie set of Mad Max beyond the thunderdome. Another positive note......the van is Cat II Certified.

Hugh Jass 08-10-2007 04:40 PM

Sounds like a great idea. Does your CEO have a Cabanna boy or something? Send me pics..

Now its is Astars turn for some ribbing...back to the drawing board

recce hellcat 08-10-2007 06:41 PM

would that i could....
 
now that would be a great project for you- joe, the cabana boy!:p but alas, no i don't. probably could find some of his wife with...take your pick: pilots; mechanics; sorters; she likes them all.
i will defer to your artistic license and enjoy the 'viewing'.

stay strong and remember-

VOTE NO IF NO RETRO!:mad:
