". . .have you called both parties yet . . ?"[- to get both sides?]

That's precisely part of the problem. While JB is quite forthcoming- has issued two recent letters to shareholders and would be more than happy to speak at length by phone or email with any shareholder- as he would when he was President and CEO. The same can't be said for our current President- who, as company officer responsible to shareholders- should be the one who is forthcoming. But just the opposite is true. In high handed fashion, there has not been one communication addressing the issues at hand. Only grandiose pronouncements. And good luck if you are going to try to speak with him directly. Has anyone spoken with him directly? If so- we would all like to hear about it. He must have a pretty high opinion of himself. It's probably easier to get through to the President of the our Great Republic. Let us know when you get through.
