OK. Point taken Malborodog. I kind of thought afterwards that maybe what I was thinking of could be an impossibility, but I had to at least get the idea out there. The mere fact that buyout is being spoken of just lead me to believe that only as a collective could we effectively bargain for the best deal. I had already considered your wolf in sheep's clothing scenario but just did not voice that in my post. Is there an alternative to the key issue I tried to convey in my late night posting; maybe. How about determining who on the forum could best represent the collective in a bargaining fashion during forum discussions over sp; could be an option. Is there one among us who we know for a fact has no reason to betray shareholder confidence, that could be trusted with giving honest opinions;?. For forum sake I would like to see what our options are if any and to initiate discussion I will pose this question to open forum, expecting both educated and guesstimated responses: What do you see yourself selling your shares for should a buyout come knocking at our door? If you don't have an exact figure then present a reasonable range in sp potential that you would like to see. Edgy has recently given us a prime example, so I will follow suit by suggesting 5 - 7 / share at present due to milestone uncertainties. How about you my fellow forum members?
