Management which has been doiing the heavy lifting for six years is probably very frustrated. However not in the position to express so. Management has to conduct cordial diplomacy or the deal could blow up. The leverage lies with Oman.

Now Charlie is beset by the frustration of the share holders. We of course have done none of the heavy lifiting . We put our money at risk with the expectation of a great payday.

If I were management my attitude would be ; we've worked our asses off for years. We've invested time sweat and tears. We've backed up our confidence by taking shares inlue of pay.

We have these share holder yapping at our heals venting. We know you have no other place to direct your frustration; therefore we hsve to take it. Get off our backs; we're dancing as hard as we can.
