We're just about underway.  I'm putting together a mailing list for the
[currently] seven of us who expressed interest and we'll be getting started
today.  If you're interested in helping in any way, anything will help.
Write me off-list if you are.

That's an interesting idea, but we'd never have a voting majority.
According to http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cobt.html 52% of the stock is
controlled by insiders and 46% is controlled by institutions so unless the
insiders and institutions dump a bunch only 2% of the outstanding shares are
in the hands of folks like you and me.  We have more say as customers,
resellers and end users.  FYI, I did my own in-depth financial analysis
(projected cash flow and key metrics out a few years using my own
assumptions) and the stock is still above my 3-year target price so I
wouldn't buy any unless I envision tulip-mania.  <frown>
