specky... I can save you a dime, there was no outside influence in this regard. Yes there were opinions and advice put forth from a variety of sources, however the ultimate decision was made by MOA Management after evaluating all options. It is my understanding that concessions were made by Etruscan and the working relationship between MOA & EET is back on track, which is great news for the shareholders of both companies including the ME/TH group.
