Even though I think that the Stein information sounds like he's done deplorable things, I don't want to waste our energy on him at this point. He is presumably trying to get us the best price for our shares and is in the midst of delicate negotiations. So any attempt to punish him for what he may have done might detract from the strength of our bargaining position. IMO, it only helps Phillips and other low bidders to focus on ousting Stein right now. Linda
