Laranger .. Vote no if you want .. send e-mails if you want .. lobby the institutions privately if you want .. whatever .. but for God's sake don't pull a stunt like this at this time and this publicly.
"Management has asked for a vote. If they get turned down, it won't be the first time."
I can't remember the last time the shareholders didn't vote the wishes of management. I'll go out on a limb and say that the shareholders have been in management's collective pocket as long as I can remember. Maybe not the individual shareholders but the fund managers and institutions hold a large percentage of the votes.
Please tell us, since you seem to know of a time when the vote went against managements wishes, just when was this?
