neo this is what you wrote: (I think involving some variation of your suggestion that a proportional number of shares must come from Meller and the rest from the open market). Not sure what the thinking is, but he's not retiring any shares. In fact, officers are precluded from selling into a share buyback, in the event one ever happens here (which i highly doubt will ever happen). More likely you'll see a reverse once YA is gone more than anything esle. JMHO.
