Hi, Donald,
You are, of course, under no obligation to stay on this board.
I'm certainly among those who value your input. Please don't disappear. At least some of us realize what a tricky path you've been treading in so vulnerable and visible a position, exacerbated by this new situation.
Lebrecht is a "new" journalist who only uses the facts that allow him to write a column following his preconceived tack and ignores others, equaly valid, that might create a more nuanced view of his topic. He's fun to read, but, as they say in poker, only if you know the hole cards. It's for insiders. Taking him at whole cloth will have his readers quickly wrapped in a shroud.

Thanks David for the completely out of context mis-quote. These are the exact type of things that keep outsiders non-privy to insider knowledge and comment.
My reference was specifically to Lebrecht's article which embellished a single possible future scenario for EMI, which I saw as the bleakest (and highly unlikely) of all possible futures.
However, I've learned my lesson, and will no longer post anything relating to the dealings of my company, even if its in regard to publicly known information.
Carry on with your second hand gossip.

P.S. The least you could of done was to reply to my complete post, which mentioned the author/article I was referring to.

The author's highly speculative opinion: If Terra Firma assumes possession of the company, they will piece it out and shutter EMI completely.
So everybody be on the lookout for a dog and gramophone painting on Ebay.
