Subject: Shareholder rules Date: 11/7/97 6:51 PM I am strongly opposed to your proposed changes in shareholder rights. Today it takes millions of dollars to be heard in the shareholder world, if you implement these changes it will take at least a billion dollars of investment before I can propose an initiative. You will turn the small investor into an irrelevant voice when it comes to changing corporate policy. You can reverse the terrible "Cracker Barrel" decision without making any other changes, please do this. Sean O'Brien
