Well said Frank

I think you covered the main points, but I can add a few things.

Any information printed here or in e-mails can be easily copied and sent anywhere. I've recently found out that some of the information I had sent around to other shareholders was copied without my knowledge and sent to places that could have much influence over the future of the company. Though my intentions were good, I now know that good intentions are not enough. I am going to be much more careful in future.

There are lurkers on this thread who do not have the best interest of the company at heart and will use any information against the company.

Last year at the AGM, a reporter was present, and most of us know who I mean. He took everything that was said in the meeting and put the worst possible spin on it in a very negative article that was published the day after the meeting. He especially took advantage of questions that well-intentioned shareholders asked. That reporter took even positive sounding questions and made them look negative in his article.

As Frank says, last year at the AGM management was very generous in providing time and answering questions after the formal part of the meeting was over. The reporter left when the formal meeting was over.

I'm sorry for appearing to lecture, but I've got enough money tied up in this company to avoid knowingly giving ammunition to those who love to run the company down.
