"All this discussion over the years about the BOD is like kicking a dead whale down the beach, a lot of spent energy and no discernable result."

No discernable result? I beg to differ. The result is exactly what the posters are looking for. It puts a stink on this stock. No, their posts are not going to change the way Patriot operates. They're not going to result in a change of the BOD. There can be no discernable result other than shooing away potential investors. You know that, I know that, and the people that continue to bitch about the BOD know that.
