Hey Joyce, old & others,
I can only imagine how frustrating this has been for Don!! First, he has people ripping on him for not doing enough (heck, even I was getting a bit frustrated about the lack of communication), then when he finds what appeared to me to be one sweetheart of a deal for Wyoming, a property that was very "unproven", and it gets blocked!!
The thing that REALLY hacks me off, but nobody wanted to talk about it over on RB when I brought it up, is I have to believe there are FAR more folks in favor of this deal than oppose it!! Yet a small group of folks, because they got organized, were able to squash the deal! I just REALLY think we shareholders AND WI holders who are in favor of the Wyoming sale need to band together, show our support for the deal by faxing or mailing letters to EYTC stating we support the deal AND, this is important, in those letters request "copies" be forwarded on to whoever the potential buyer was/is!! They need to see that there is MUCH support for the deal!! I may be wrong, but if we could prove to EYTC and the potential buyers that 80%, 85% or even 90% of those involved ARE in favor of the deal, they MIGHT get over their "cold feet" and we could MAYBE still get Wyoming done??!!
Folks, I absolutely HATE what this small group has done, I think it's disgusting!! Unless they can prove there are other offer(s), there is ONLY one reason to block this current deal, in my opinion that is!! But again, as much as I can't stand what they did, the few behind this mess have shown they are organized and unless the rest of us can do the same, start working together as oppose to what goes on over at RB, the small group of bullies will simply continue with their actions!!
Joyce, I am so sorry to hear about the financial difficulties you are facing at the moment, it's just not right!! You are VERY correct when you say we need to get Frank off the board and then we need to show support for the ONLY Wyoming deal on the table to BOTH, EYTC and the buyer!!
Yes Joyce, I think you should try to get those folks over here, but somebody has to get this "support rally" of ours organized!! I promise I would be 100% behind it, but it would have to be somebody like Shooter, or even you, to bring it to the RB posters (which as much as I don't like it over there, we WOULD need to get some of those folks on board with this) as pretty much anything from me gets squashed over there! I did notice that last night Shooter brought up "trying to get something rolling" and even thought it was pretty much exactly what I had said, folks took it much better from him, that is why I say he may be the person that "most" folks would trust and/or listen to?
So anyway, the silent majority needs to "man up" (or WOMAN up) & "step up" to show our support of Don and EYTC, I don't think we can afford to be passive any longer!! Most of us are nice, decent folks who have been sitting back hoping some good would come, it did, but then it was yanked away! We can't afford to be "nice" anymore, again, in my opinion!!
One last thing, I don't know what the "break up" value of EYTC is, but I can say that USUALLY bankruptcy is a HORRIBLE option for shareholders, who are almost ALWAYS completely wiped out!! As I mentioned in a post last night, I have seen a couple companies declare banruptcy and the shareholders "survive" (Covad Communications is probably the most known), but I just don't know if EYTC could do something so current shareholders would not lose everything "if" they had to file for bankruptcy protection!! But again, it is usually HORRIBLE for shareholders, so I REALLY think we don't want to let that happen!!!
We got to band together folks!!
So, there it is, can we get anything going???
I wish us ALL better days ahead and that this fiasco will one day soon come to a POSITIVE ending!! Take care!!
Stay healthy,

As always, the above is my opinion, nothing more...
