The reason for the number is simple -- it's verified in a previous filing. This protects from lawsutis citing "fixing the OS" to a desired spun number.
The revision will ensure the number is offical w/ the SEC and then will be published. It's just a way to avoid a lawsuit -- using only offical data.
Gail.. Sunshine no one will get hurt if they hold and let this thing take its coarse and wait for the PR. Those who panic and sell prematurely will get what they get. We hold and get our rewards for waiting. From what you say, you and I are in the same boat. Have'nt got even enough to buy shares at a low rediculus amt. Happy to have what I got and will count my blessing later. So in the mean time.. GET HAPPY
