Rhonda:
Well, I see this thread is active again. This time, there is a semi-heated discussion about the identity of the litter processing plant.
This whole discussion would come to a screeching halt if the name and location of the processing plant that is in the "Show Low area" would be posted by somebody. Anybody. Preferably from an official corporate source.
Maybe I should call the company, ask for the name, and post it myself? I wonder if I would be given the name if I called?
Frankly, I don't care who is producing the litter, so it's highly unlikely that I'll call. The issue here, if I'm reading jhild's posts correctly, is "selective disclosure".
I have to agree with jhild on this issue. Whatever information is released to some people should be released to all. That's one of the responsibilities of a public company. Equal access to information for investors ... shareholders or not.
If there were any harm in identifying the processor in question, I could understand the reluctance to make it public. But, if there were harm in it, then there shouldn't be any "selective disclosure", either. If the information was released to a few folks and somebody later decided that was a mistake, so be it. Just say so. However, the information that has been disclosed "selectively" should be made available to all concerned. Otherwise, there are people who have "inside information". Something the SEC is very sensitive to.
This attitude of "I know but I'm not tellin'" is childish, in my opinion. The only reason I could see for not sharing disclosed information would be if the persons who were given the information had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
There's one other possibility that I haven't mentioned. Perhaps the posters who have claimed to know the information ... don't. Perhaps they commented about it to increase this thread's readers' confidence in the future of the kitty litter product. I would hope that's not the case, but we ARE dealing with human beings here, and human beings are not infallible.
Just my two cents. No flames, please.
