Hawk, Shiney, among several others -- thanks for your thoughtful posts on the future of our company. I have decided for myself that it is in my best interest to vote FOR the proposal, even though I do not like its terms. Similarly, I respect the opinions of those who, evaluating the same terms, have decided against the proposal.
Though I have never spoken with Charles Bitters, I believe he is almost single-handedly responsible for the company's successes to date and those I expect in the future. I do not begrudge his potential 35% ownership share. In my judgment conspiratorial theories are off base. I look for senior management to have a significant stake in a company's success.
