I just voted YES.
My views:
Without re-hashing the details of the last several weeks of posts - I would just like to say that I appreciate everyone who particpated in this discussion. I'm glad we have a forum where information can be discussed.
Having said that, this was an extremely difficult decision for me. I have gone "stop to stop" several times.
In the final analysis, I chose to look beyond the short-term gains/losses and base my decision on the long-term strategic picture.
I believe this is the key to the fact that we even have an LOA (offer from the company) before us in the first place. And, I believe it is the correct perspective to base my vote on.
So......I am voting YES.
To quote Captain Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) and Lt. Commander Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington) from Crimson Tide:
Capt. Ramsey: God help you if you're wrong.
Hunter: If I'm wrong, then we're at war; God help us all...........
