Corp_Buyer -- re HC I agree; but NOT re getting rid of classified BOD, which is in fact a critical element in defense v. hostile takeover (whether you'll ever concede that or not) -- to eliminate classified board merely to facilitate replacing HC is akin to the proverbial 'throwing out the baby with the bathwater'; and on a practical level that couldn't be done till next ASM, and wouldn't be in effect until the votes on members of the BOD at the '05 ASM (where in reality a new COB is needed soon, well before the next ASM, let alone the '05 ASM) -- and isn't HC up for re-election ANYWAY at the next ASM? (and if not, then certainly at the '05 ASM . . .)

to promote getting rid of the classified BOD as if that has anything to do with replacing HC as COB, at this time in this circumstance, is to engage in misdirection -- at this time in this circumstance, the former is of no relevance to the latter, as the former would in no way hasten the next vote on whether to re-elect HC to the BOD
