beyondhelp,

"Indications that Lori is willing to negotiate come from the news release where she made an offering to the Hastman brothers for two positions on the board of directors. Since the Hastman brothers didn’t take those positions, we may never know what might have been."

But that was a long time ago, and she was offering the Hastman's two seats on a 5 person board where the other members were picked by Lori!

How do you think the voting would have gone? 3-2 maybe?

I don't see that as a "willingness to negotiate", do you?
