"Can't we all just get along?" LOL.
It's tough when one attorney (even one as distinguished as Judge Ward) holds an investment's fate in his hands. Notwithstanding our DD, "knowing what you own," and all that, it's now largely out of our control. That's tough to swallow, obviously.
As JB and AJ would say, "it's five o'clock somewhere," and a few folks (myself included) may be well advised to keep that in mind. Cheers and GLTAL!
