bunnyb, I hear you on the manipulation and the shenanigans. It is, unfortunately, the way the current law allows the game to be played...and in this economy, a company using BK to reorg itself out of debts seems to be a common solution. it is absolutely criminal, morally, that shareholders get screwed in most cases. someone a couple days back asked what a posting I made regarding filing objections had to do with common shareholders...the system will stay
intact until there is a groundswell of educated and vocal shareholders. of this, I am convinced.
re Starbucks...but of course! I regularly pump caffeine via an IV tube :)
