'Complacent management' says Aves 'lack of transparency' says Solicius in their most recent posts. These are well worn cliches in their vocabularyies, but unsubstantiated, in my view, by any fact they have offered this board. To me they appear to stem from a sence of ill will they choose to convey towards this project. I cannot understand their motives for this.

The last NR is quite clear why management has had to regig MS and there is a sensible rational, that whilst negotiations are in development that a news blackout is appropriate. I remain baffled by the conjecture that no news amounts to poor management or complacency. I stand by my previous comment re feeding regimes.

That said I respect the underlying arqument made by the more negative posters on this boad that we must not let our enthusiasm blind us from being on guard to the actions of management that we can validly affect.

I feel we should take up Andrea's point and propose that IR is asked, that if there are no plans for NR before the Christmas break, could they provide some assurance that all is well. Can moderators do this?
