Hey Geoprof......great post....you said;

"If my hypothesis is true, then I would want the most ruthless, shrewd, experienced, proven negotiating team for my NOT shares.....our current BOD, in my opinion, fits the bill."

.....a fred shero kinda team? 'if you can't beat them on the ice....beat them in the alley"

....do you think they will be tough 'like Robert Freidland kinda tough? where he makes a pile of money AND shareholders did very well.......or....the 'ruthless shrewd' kinda team.....aurelian kinda folks?

I'm kinda thinking the latter.

thanks for the thoughtful post.....cheers....sambone
