whether with or against the grain and can understand the mounting frustrations but... imo it is foolish to think that it is ``pretty much over`` at this juncture. Do we have problems with dilution...yes. Do we have problems wielding power in voting our shares for change...yes, but how is this different than pre-Pohl? Why at this time, is it ``over``? At the time of Pohls letter to shareholders, how many shareholders were really on his back? The guy had a clean slate,he himself shouldered the responsibility for firing JW and LG, the partnership with TPL, and the formation of the AB. The pressure is not on Brian here, it is on Pohl to follow through on his statements and plans.(Whether there is really enough pressure on him is my concern)I have been reading Brian`s posts for a few years now and have yet to find an aire of ego. A guy who has a firm grasp on the way value should be brought to this company, himself and all other shareholders...Yes. Do you have a different direction for this company in mind? I would be happy to read it, seriously. Keep a few shares tucked away in case it`s Not over. joe
