Dear Michael: Well, I hope this challenge doesn't delay things too long. I'd like to cash in on the next dividend paid by HWP which will be slightly more than double what we are getting right now. It will help take away a tiny bit of the pain cause by CPQ's price plunge [and help somewhat take my mind off the dividend slash FTU, now WB, made last year]. Best regards, Lynn (who is _not_ going into the HPW DRIP)

The problem is of course, that even if Walter is successful in reversing (let alone just not counting) the 17MM Deutschbank votes, the 45MM margin is sufficient to win the day. This leaves his second count, which is some sort of shareholder fraud theory count, that he has which the court keeps referring to as violation of the share holder franchise. I assume, without having read Walter's brief that he is arguing that there was so much fraud in the estimates of the value of the combined companies so as to taint the vote so badly that it can not be literally called a vote. I think the court referred to this argument as something like, "remote". d.
