First, Brian if you are reading this.....thank you. I am troubled but not surprised by the BoD's statement of opposition where the say "the above proposal, if approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting, is not binding on the Company of its Board." (emphasis by me)

I think we know the drill by now. It will pass by an overwhelming majority, it will be reported to the SEC as such and on or around this time next year we will find out their true intentions buried in FAQs on the website.

From a quote I read and applied to Patriot

The BoD places little value on the company by not purchasing stock with their own money, no wonder the rest of the world will not help raise the share price.
