Richard, I do not think that the form or function of the website was ever the problem, but what was input into the fellow who tried to maintain it, probably at his own expense. We went through a thing some time ago where we all seemed to agree that whatever was put out would be at least "semi-official" and mostly signed by Jensen. That seemed to happen. I remember that we all dinged Larry a couple of times for putting out personal opinion. Then it all seemed to come from the company, and I cannot blame him in any respect. What he seems to be saying here is that he is giving up because he cannot get reliable info out of the company. I know nothing about that interaction, and there may be much that I do not know. If the company establishes an "official website", then that will not necessarily change the informational flow that we have seen. We here elected our representative "The Honorable Bob Walsh" to attempt to provide a better informational flow to us here, and although I cannot speak for Bob, I can say that I appreciate his effort, but that has not provided a great deal to us here. The information must flow from the source, and if it does not, then no medium can provide it. Simple as that. Clearly, there needs to be change. The company can say that they had no information to provide. Well I want it all, both the good and the bad. One can not supress the bad and embelish the good and call that communication. It may be communication to them, but to me it is engineered failure. If I do not hear bad and then it happens, then I know that I am the "Mushroom being fed". I do not like what mushrooms like!! I am not here to recommend any course of action to the company other than good quick, honest and reliable communication with its loyal shareholders. Whatever works is good. I can tell you that I am still not in receipt of the last letter through the transfer agent, and I do hold some certificate stock. Perhaps someone else got it? Let me say here that I am not willing to be a "nice little mushroom" any longer! Lover of mushrooms, but hoping not to be one, Jack!!
