Paunch, Charles. I assume you know there is a special format you must follow when gathering votes for the 10% to call a special meeting.

What this means is they will get several of their friends to give you proxies for, say 500,000 shares. You will go ahead and get the ten % and then those 500,000 will get cancvelled at a critical time and you will lose critical time.
