After reading and reading and reading.......

I have come to the conclusion that there are two schools of thought regarding the BoD. Some support them and others oppose them.

Those who oppose them do so because they believe that the BoD has done nothing correctly. If the price is down, it is because of their actions. If the price is up, it has occurred in spite of their actions.

The side that supports the BoD obviously feels that we're better off with the devil we know than with the devil we don't know. It's hard to guess at how another would have reacted to the suits, the reexams and the traders with their large number of shares taking it down everytime it goes up a penny or two.
