One trap that the 13-D supporters are setting is the false choice -- 13-D or Nader running the show.

It is well known that the entrepreneur who has the vision and dedication to found (or in this case save) a company often becomes the wrong person to run the company after his initial vision is accomplished. The skills needed to start and develop a company may not be the same skills that the company needs to continue growing successfully.

This is often discussed in business schools, and there are approximately a zillion articles about this phenomenon.

It should be recognized that NP stepped in and probably saved the company. It should also be recognized that he is no longer the person who should be speaking for the company, or be the public face of the company. He has made too many mistakes in interviews and conference calls, and he has too many enemies.

That doesn't mean that people need to support 13-D. It means that NP needs to recognize that he did a great job getting the company to this point, and now it is time to let others continue the company's progress.
