<Nor do I believe the Leckrones would relish the prospect of becoming a public company with the attendant full disclosure that that would entail.>

You assume the Leckrones would remain. I do not. I believe Moore when he said the following:

<Rumor is that Leckrone is trying to sell TPL; with no takers. A strange concept, since Leckrone is TPL. Having gone through the MMP revenues he now wants to cut and run? He has refused to downsize. He's got all that litigation. And constraints from his contracts with me and Patriot and doubtless others. >

Do you think he made this up?
