This is pretty presumptuous, no?  Do you have the actual LBO vote counts to 
back this claim?  In any event, as a firm longtime proponent of cutting and 
running, I have never advocated any of the exit-delaying preconditions you 
cite.  And being ye olde transcendentalist of the list, I can, if need be, 
claim majority status on my own.
