Re: [s-b] [s-d] Let's try that again while we still can

[Jay Campbell <bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As Officer of cMPC, I post "a number n greater than 43,112,609 such that 
(2^n)-1 is prime."

If that wasn't good enough, As Officer of cMPC I post 
"(2^10^2^43112609)-1" and await objection in the form of this number's 
factors.

Regardless, the Rule says an officer "can" take action, and since I'm 
not a party to that contract, nyah-nyah you can't make me.

So I guess I was wrong in one part below, unbound officers have zero 
obligation even if the corporation is capable of the action.
