Dennis, thanks for the update. I think that most of us appreciate your
informative posts. IMHO there are a couple of things an IR director should keep in mind: first, he should expect shareholder criticism even under the best of circumstances, and perhaps this might be called healthy discourse for its own sake. This internet discussion group thing is new and thus its etiquette even less evolved (one hopes it will evolve!). Stockholders now suddenly can exercise a voice and potentially affect their investment at the corporate policy level in ways they might never have imagined previously. And it is already abundantly clear that some cannot handle this privilege (some will say right) very well. Like it or not, it is now a fact and the sooner the IR officer faces this the better, IMO. The second thing is that he not take the criticism personally. Change the IR and the same abuse will attach itself to that new name - without discrimination! FWIW most of us understand your position. As far as the a******s are concerned, IYAMA (if you ask my advice), blow them off - ignore them completely. Don't dignify (and encourage!) their drivel by shining the light of attention on it.
Good luck...I'm looking forward to Monday's news. Scott
