Im going to make this post to the point.

As of this moment forward NickatIlynx is the 100% owner of Oprano.

Nick and I reached an agreement a few days back and the sale and transfer of my "vested interest" in Oprano is now effective.

No piss, no drama ... just business.

The scope of my job at AEBN has been broadly expanded. I no longer wash dogs but now I pick figs. And being a fig picker takes up a lot more time than washing dogs or painting barns.

I am involved with two new ventures that I will be happy to tell you about in the coming weeks.

And finally Depraved Dollars and its new tours are becomeing most productive so Ive had to look into ways to expand that marketing effort.

This all adds up to more time than even *I* have.

Nick and I agree that the future well being and direction of this board requires more than an absentee owner to continue to march forward.

With that in mind please join me in congradulating Nick and giving him all your support.

I've often told Mike and Serge in the past
"What's good for Oprano .... is good for me."

And I always meant it.
