Stevie's off-the-cuff remark about paying Chris $5M, while probably not literal, would indicate she is willing to part with some dough to accommodate Chris's return. I think the current split is fair for the foursome, and the 25/25/25 split would be fair with Christine in the mix. It's not as crazy as you made it sound.
I'm not saying Stevie has never shown diva-like behavior, but who hasn't? Of course she is aware, just as we all are, that she's the biggest star outside the band. But within the context of the band, she has often referred to herself as the little sister, and Mick has publicly stated that she has a much easier time being a member of a group than Lindsey does.

nicely said, agree with most of your post, other than the inflammatory part. but yeah any future split is definitively speculative, and that was what we were discussing at the time. i don't see the 3 singers getting 25 % each and the other 25% being split between Mick and John as realistic, others have other opinions - and it's fair everyone states what they think, on the discussion board.
hey, so you are in Vegas? you wanna get together for a drink or something?

yup, and those poor minority LB defenders react to about every 50th post that annoys them, but since there are so many more SN defenders here, get jumped on every single time.

agree - you brought up equal, so i questioned it.

maybe, but i can't fault Homer or whoever brought that up if they feel that way... like you said, it's a human reaction, and they have a right to express it.
