I have Kent Whealy's letter; have been to the SSE site; and ha've been 
reading quite a bit on this on some of the forums mentioned.

I've concluded that at this point I don't know what's going on there.

Rob Johnston often shows up at NOFA-NY conferences, and I'll be going 
to one soon. I'll try to talk to him about it then.

I would point out that it's now the employees who own Johnny's, so 
that's who you'd be boycotting, not Rob Johnston or the SSE board; and 
that Kent Whealy himself, in the letter, specifically asked people not 
to boycott SSE. So I'm strongly inclined to not boycott either of them; 
even if it turns out that the SSE board is actually entirely out of 
line.
