Yahoo Message Board, Ion Geophysical, and Free Speech?

As most of you know I was the SR VP and GM of the Land Imaging Systems Division of Input Output Inc. (now Ion Geophysical Inc.) and I am still in contact with many employees and ex employees. The last few weeks I have been receiving calls and emails from a number of ex Ion Geo employees in regard to the rumor that BGP (a company in China that is the worlds largest Seismic contactor), saying that Ion is selling all or most of the LISD to BGP.
