RE: Savitr boys ... j_mart,
.. you post like you lack any experience with dissident groups so i suggest you do some checking on the Inet; check CPR as a recent high profile case, there was a recent mining company i believe AVR (or summin like that), there was MSD a few years ago... the list goes on.. in my experience when dissidents come after a BoD it is because the current BoD has failed to create shareholder wealth and in almost all cases i know of they win.. they typically have all the support they need before they start..
..PS having been through many "fights" like this IME it is the group that is catterwailing the most that is in the losing position and so they engage in all sorts of PR silliness to try and discredit the other group.. unfortunately for the current WND BoD their record is their own worst enemy IMO.
PPS you should really wait till both groups make their formal filings that will tell a lot, a lot more than the SIPs posting "koolaid" on this MB or PR's or...
