Correct Giddy, only the votes count, not whinging and whining on HC or foot-stamping tanty emails.

For instance, if every one of us SSN HC members emailed management and demanded that they leave the workover rig on SOA II instead of moving it to Defender, I think the rig would still be moved to Defender. Unfortunately for all concerned SOA II couldn't be cleared before the rig was due at Defender, and there are commitments with JV partners to take into consideration, and with operational decisions there will always be commitments to take into consideration.

Bleating from shareholders on the other side of the world on a chat site, many of whom have probably never even changed the oil in their own car, might add to managements headaches a bit, but not much more than that imo.
