you bring up some good points

why sell now, why sell so low

we have everything ahead of us

you only give a company away when you HAVE to sell

do we? Hell no.

we have plenty of options....mine it ourselves, keep exploring, sell only if a major comes with a bag o cash worthy of our find.....joint ventures....

but somehow our faithful BOD decides THIS is the best they can do

....most of us work hard for our money

they, instead of cutting a good deal for us, sign a lousy deal and just increase the number of options they have

the George Bush method of problem solving

Just print more!

if the deal wasn't good enough for them without adding 2.4 million more options...why should it be good enough for us...who work hard for our money?

Sail on! and KILL THE DEAL
