Not at all.  I just don't think the current landscape, riven by a split board with several personal agendas to pursue is one that promotes good judgement, nor is it sustainable.  Lowe is the hack you get when decent candidates won't bother applying for a poisoned chalice.

Well he's in there now and I suppose time will tell.

My biggest concern is the Penn/Delmege fued.

[/quote]  Agreed.  I'm prepared to suspend judgement on Lowe (cue shock, horror from fellow silvertails posters) but I cannot say I am sanguine about his prospects in the current environment.  We could probably cherry pick the best in the business on a global market and they'd probably make no headway.

So in this case Lowe's arbitrary skills maybe even more important than his business acumen.
