And, if the guy behind the new two has 180 million shares vs Lancaster's 200 million (purportedly), its a game of chicken with the new sherriff saying to the old bandit "I dare you to show up and vote your 200 million". If Lancaster has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear, but if good old Lancaster knows the long arm of the law would love to snare him, then his 200 million shares are not going to be voted, even by proxy. So, the hostess with the mostest may not have any say in the matter out of fear of being snagged. Pretty cunning move on the new guys's part it seems to me.

EDITED: referring to another message I read subsequent to typing the above - yes, I would agree about it being such an answer to prayer, treeman.
