I would urge everyone to hang tight and continu eon as you would. This may 
all boil down to a nasty divorce or it may be as massive as a coporate 
takeover. We really don't know. And both SSE and Johnny's have been friends, 
not enemies, up until now. I would suggest giving them the benefit of the 
doubt until more is known.
The fact that SSE has a board means it needs to be accountable, so let's 
keep on them and get to the bottom of this. But it's way too early to call 
for a boycott in my eyes.
