BA's just thinking in first person. They get so excited every time they start a new scam that they get "uplifted" and think everything else should share in their excitement and get uplifted to. They should change their initials to BF, because that's what they are best at.
The "magnificent three", our BOD (I liked that term!) seems to have failed to maintain Evans on the BB well before the "settlement" with FM and BA occured. That hurt the potential value of our dividend stock and it had no obvious gain to HISS. Later, even if the BOD might have "won" a better settlement, we were already stabbed in the wallet.
Why would they do that to us??? Was it just sour grapes or a scorched earth action?
