Did it again. Forgot to readdress the Plot-D stuff.

Assuming you're talking about the upcoming proxy war for control of
Farrleton's board, I have only a brief comment or two:

1st) If anyone were actually able to lay hands on that much of the
stock, then not only is it practically worthless, the company can't be
very big. It would be more believable if it went along the lines of:

15-30% Owned by Riglia (?), the nasty CEO guy, OR proxied directly to
him.
25-35% Assured to vote in his favor, either in person or by proxy.
15-40% Owned by Rathor OR proxied directly to him (which I can arrange
to have done through Nightbroker, for a small fee ;>)
0-20% Non-voting stockholders, or abstentions. (Remember you need a
majority)
5% or less Owned by Flute, depending on what kind of sneaky tricks
Riglia has played

The reason for this suggestion is that it would be nearly impossible
to purchase the stock out of mutual fund holdings or private Granny &
Gramps investors. These individuals MIGHT be persuaded to sell if the
price were right, and MIGHT be persuaded to sell proxy.

Of course, they could show up at the meeting, too.

2nd) Hmm. Guess I don't really have a 2nd point. So that's all.

I'll work up the notes and have the meeting this week. Riglia won't
attend.

Ok here's how the ownership should look...

15% owned by Riglia.
30% proxyed directly to him.

20% Rathor
20% proxyied to him.
5% Flute voted by Zac and Tunel-Rat

4% (2% each) two mutual funds. Abstenaing votes.

1% IBMW : International Brotherhood of Machine Workers. They'll play wild card
and vote with Rathor.
