I think this takeover,merger,whatever, will come to fruition...Don't know if it will be 3;1..4:1 ,5:1 or something else...But you don't go into something like this not prepared to be rebuffed...This has been in the works for a while because you need the input of financal institutions, lawyers ,accountants etc..So I believe they had a backup plan already in the works ,just in case the friendly merger was squashed by Mac...I don,t believe the backup was put together over the weekend...Also, if it fails, it would not look that good on future resumes that Wes may submit..there is no doubt that there is much that we are not privy to...This will all play out as Wes plays his cards when necessary..Just some ramblings....BTW I own shares in both NOT and FWR.Regards.R R
