I don't think Dale Fuller is that devious a character. I think it is just a Jack and the Beanstalk story. Jack this time gave away the cow for a load of s$$t, and don't dream of the goose that lay the golden eggs either - it does not exist in this case. If the deal succeeds there will be no giant smelling the blood of an Englishman. Although this time I wish there were. Dale Fuller caused more damage to INPR than Dale Yockam ever could, and he did it without any due diligence or any effort at all. I wander how the BOD find these guys - in the unwanted CEO list.

Sorry Graham, unless I misunderstood you, nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to renegotiate with Corel at any ratio. ... and nobody, except Fuller and that stupid BOD, would exchange $250 real green American money for that worthless Corel piece of trash. Not only Fuller did just that, he did it at 0.747!!! and an UNCONDITIONAL 0.747 at that!!! It was such a colossal f...up. I dare to speculate, that if indeed the merger gets called off in one way or another, $30 million penalty or not the INPR stock would immediately rocket. It is my interpretation that the stock jumped recently when Coates was publically making his objection known.
