I just wanted to take a moment and share with you all something I am sure most of you are aware of, but maybe have forgotten. The people who truly make up Martin Logan, the actual workers of Martin Logan, are not the people who have been pulling the strings and making the decisions as of late. I completely understand the outpouring of emotion over the recent announcements, trust me, they are even more intense for the people most affected by these decisions...those losing their jobs, and those keeping them as well. I just want to point out that your frustrations and anger need to be pointed north to the heartless, greedy leadership of Shoreview and the president of Paradigm/ML. The only halfway comforting thought in all of this is that the general purpose of equity companies is to buy up smaller companies, pretty them up on paper and then sell them. So, let's all hope that happens and Shoreview actually sells to a group of individuals or company that actually care about the industry we are in and about the wonderful products that Martin Logan has always produced. Until that time, rest assured that those employees that are left are continuing to make sure that the manufacturing done at Paradigm is up to the Martin Logan quality that this company has always been known for. Also, in the meantime, if you want to relay your displeasure of the current events, direct your letters and emails to Shoreview and Tim Valters, as you are only speaking to the choir when you direct them to Kansas.
