BK protection? I sure didn't see this one coming... Ron, did Gemini Jon give you any indications when stating watch for the "pofitable" filings etc., that protection in the near term was in the cards? Normally I consider myself level headed but this is a MAJOR disappointment and set back in the short term. Anyone?
