As I said in another post a minute ago, I have just gotten into my hotel room in Toronto. Obviously, all of the information concerning Jim just got to me as I have been traveling from Lucerne to Zurich, then flying to London, then flying from London to Toronto. I will be home in the morning. After speaking with several people this evening, let me just say this... We wish Jim Skelton the best. He played a key role in the development of the watch shows on SNBC. He is not only a personal friend of mine, but of many of the vendors at SNBC. Things change and we then move forward. None of us from the vendor side of the house have any control over what the hosts do or what SNBC does. That is a matter best left private. The influx of rumors and speculation does NO ONE (including Jim) any good. Everyone would be better off letting those parties directly involved sort out whatever they may need to. Unless you have specific and first hand knowledge of the situation, I would suggest you not post your speculative comments. Again, we are all sad to see Jim go. And, we wish him the very best in his future endeavors. __________________ Michael
