that berkshire link was dated February. if you go back and look at the dockets around that date you will see a "services agreement" or some such thing which described that eddie was hiring many "old sears" management as well as line employees to help ensure a smooth transition.
obviously for eddie to be alleging a draft por was circulating he had to have had some kind of "heads up". however, it seems more like a back door notice than anything upfront. it's for that reason i don't think it portends well for commons.
