Mike, great post and I agree with everything you've brought forth.
I have adjusted my thinking to the point where I would probably go along with trying to replace one or two BOD members - they are elected after all, and this is supposed to be a democratic process - if the RS is voted down. The goal would be to ensure that some future consideration is given to shareholders in the form of more communication and no more drastic share restructuring schemes. At least it sends a signal that the shareholders need to be included in future plans to a greater extent than heretofore has been the case.
If the RS is approved, frankly we could still try to do the same thing while we still have any clout.
But the company is CB, and he's the driving force.
As you said:
"From the beginning, my investment in AMEP has been an investment in CB and his ability to build this company and build it into a profitable O&G junior."
