You miss the basic fact Phil today is trying to get a better deal for his shares which also helps us ,get the free ride . Let's focus on how to make this deal better for shareholders . !
Phil's motions most likely will fail . It's going to come down to the deal white or blue . If you vote yes on the deal and litigation later proves low ball pricing with conflicts you can collect zero . Those of us who vote no can share in the spoils of proving mis pricing and proving conflicts of interest . Of course we must win to collect . Getting zero for many of our assets is powerful and certainly provable . Hession's payday off TB looks like solid proof to me . Look at the Dell example I posted . The deal closed but the ones who voted a low ball offer no deal were well compensated later .

The Dell lawyers sure performed well . We are still doing discovery on Breach .
So not getting paid on assets outside PRL-15 is ok ?! Most think if Hession got a pay day why can't we ??
No payment for second certification , no Ant S payment etc , etc ,
Let's see what we can uncover on a law suit before casting stones . A proposal is on the table awaiting response . May go in the circular file or maybe work . Jury still out .

"Most" people feel that way? Where do you get that from?
Given the changes since 2013 and the very unusual idea of possibly getting paid for prospective assets in the first place, do you think the odds were in favor of ever getting paid once the tide turned in the industry? "Most" here predicted Total would buy IOC out for the Certification price and get the whole company (including those assets outside PRL15) anyway. And yes, the same legal route could have been proposed by "most" here, but what happens then?

Ebster- atta boy keep it at a level that really appeals to people and helps win them over.
As stated several times I've not made a decision as I see faults on both sides. Lots of emotional info/responses on the "nay" side, which to me is not the way to look at things like this. I've sent an email to Concerned Shareholders asking some legitimate questions, and absolutely no response. None. I'm not swayed by the emotional outbursts here at all.
And no I don't like what's gone on under Hession, but when I raised issues very early on (which was the better time to grill mgmt) I was told by some that now are fighting Hession that I was barking up a hollow tree. I just find all of that shortsighted, just as I see some of the arguements now being made. Off of the board I have people contact me and the comments are much "softer" and much less sure than what gets posted. That's too much emotion for me.
Like some others here I'm weighing as many options as possible, that's all.

Please do us all a favor, Palm, and post the list of questions that Concerned Shareholders have ignored.

That's OK Stavros, I'll do this my way, not yours.

I'm trying to understand your points of view.
Knowing what your questions are will help me.
Oh well.

I prefer to get answers from the source directly on this kind of thing. My request was quite simple actually, and told them with proper answers I would feel more comfortable in lending support.
Appreciate your offer, but really want "official" responses.
