My response to Asnley

Here is the “one” question: To date how much have we spent on legal fees for this effort?

Will the board answer ALL the questions about this effort subsequent to Thursday night?  For future reference, how do we submit questions like this? Who do we email them to?  Is there any recourse if the questions are not answered?
