** 3rd Party signature clairification **

As many are aware, Sharon Gutwin recently wrote the lenders group that your "vote" concerning Horace's group's "3rd Party status" should be voiced on the Birth of Innocence blog rather than email. Maintaining that an email is, in fact, less viable in court.

I've been in touch with Mac's counsel, (both before yesterday's letter and again this morning) and I'd like to reassure the many of you who've been in touch over the last day and any of you that would prefer to be heard via email that both forms are equally valid. You do not, nor should you, "vote" in both formats. The choice of either is yours.

I will be attaching a legal affidavit attesting to the validity of the compiled list of all lenders responding via email (your original emails will also be on file). These in turn will be added to the names of any of you choosing to record your "vote" online. The sum total, as mentioned yesterday, will be submitted to Mac's counsel by end of business day Wednesday. We hope to hear your voice in this critical issue.

Thanks again for your consideration and on behalf of both Sharon and myself, I apologize for any confusion.
