makarios, Thanks for picking up the torch and thanks to OB for a much needed laugh. Makarios I remember that your wife is a carrier of the hemophillia gene and your interest in this company is more than just passing. There is a great deal of anger on the board and a lot of back and forth about whether to vote for or against the proposal. Everyone who is angry at gtcb (who have done their best in my opinion--I know many don't agree) might consider how they would feel about the CEO of Goldman, Ford, Citi etc. Its really about the market and timing. Its unfortunate that we face dilution to stay alive. This is a small company and I maintain we need to see what happens after approval and so I agree with many here that we should vote yes. Its a moot point in that the top ten posters here have what maybe 2-3 million share between them (excepting Rustyboy) so I don't think our votes will make a material difference. I look forward to the time when we can resume discussions about the science again and to the time you, makarios won't have to worry about the effects of the hemophellia gene on loved ones. bp
