> Issues of facts-- [...] been contacted by phone [...] with 'time > is of the essence' shareholder Rule 10b-5 governed questions. Do you think that they are intentionally reckless as defined under SEC law? Or are they trying to execute on the "Alpha" business plan, which indicates that SoftQuad Inc is not material, and that the $$$ amounts of the divestiture are not significant, and that they did get many bids from other companies, and they engaged an outside firm to sell (ie they performed reasonable effort in securing shareholder value). Of course many people would argue otherwise that they could have done a better job, but they were not reckless or other "legal" wrangling. Don't get me wrong, the Rabins are a bunch of idiots for how they handled SoftQuad Inc, they did not understand the business and poorly executed and did not provide an environment for success. But at this point I am damn hoping they execute on the retail business so I don't have to take a whopping tax loss on this stock this year.
