liberty, I agree that there may indeed be problems or concerns on their part, however it is best for them to assess the situation and decide whether it is a good idea to get involved or not. And they would always be free to give it a go and jump ship if they were not comfortable, or limit posts in any way they wish. While I think it is unlikely to happen, it is not without possibility. I am confident they are at least monitoring this forum.

This vehicle has been initiated by them, and that is a lot different than the public forums we have all become accustomed to. They could, if they wanted, make this a very powerful investor relations tool by joining the discussion, if only to clarify misinformation and answer those questions they can. In fact, they might find it efficient to do so.

 Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But I would not even suggest the idea until:

1. There was a critical mass of investors here; and,
2. This forum proves to be truly practical and devoid of the nonsense on some other forums.

In the meantime, I will be happy to have timely official reports from the company on this website, as is already happening, and the benefit of group thinking and research without having to use the ignore button I was wearing out on SH.

With respect,
