Dear JCJ: I think Sun's travel office would go absolutely nuts trying to arrange flights for us. If we all lived near each other such that a block of tickets for the same flight, coming and going, could be arranged, I'd have the nerve to ask them. This is not the case--remember, I'm possibly continuing west after the meeting. > I'd guess we're SUNW's single largest flock of indy investors outside the annual meeting itself. We vote enough shares to ask for this type of thing. You aren't kidding! Heck, Sun's IR should pamper us! Considering how many shares some people here hold, if they got together and decided to place 'sell' orders the same day , CNBC would jump to conclusions and report that there was heavy institutional selling of SUNW. Smaller shareholders would panic--and maybe some of the real institutional holders--and dump their shares. SUNW's price would plunge. Rumors would start to fly since these "institutional" sellers HAVE to be in the know of something very, very wrong. Only one person on the face of the earth would benefit from the above scenario: Charles Tutt. Charles would BUY, BUY, BUY aaaaaaaall the way down. Hummm... even if it is a bit much for us to have Sun's travel office get us flights, it would be nice if they pick us up at the airport. Regards, Lynn P.S. In response to you butterfly caterpillar suggestion: >Wouldn't it make more sense to go *before the shareholders meeting sometime >while they were still caterpillars so they'd be way easier to >collect? --- I mean, that way you wouldn't have to chase the little >bastards all over the place with a net. You obviously have little experience coming through U.S. Customs, JCJ. The humiliation one experiences when a customs agent screams out, "AGRICULTURE," (which results in someone from the agriculture division racing over to the agent's line) just because one admits to bringing back tea or spices would be paled by the humiliation one would face trying to bring in something alive, especially caterpillars. Heck, it would not surprise me if customs would wisk off, strip search [are YOU a customs agent?], then finger print someone AND confiscate the caterpillars. Better to just shoot them with rifles then have them mounted, crated, and shipped back home.
