"Are we close to 30 yet? Is this the number the buyout will be based on."

I think you can count on it....but just ignore it. Make your position known by holding onto your shares and hurling nasty words like "may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your fruit of the looms" and anyone else who thinks we've been stupid enough not to notice that you've been holding down our sp to rape our company...... when they call to ask if you favour the deal. You know the drill.

Other words to hurl:

"May halitosis accompany you to every social function"

"May your bank machine always be out of service"

"May you slip and fall on the very grease you tried to use on this deal"

ok who else wants to contribute.....?
