Real888,

I understand your point and share your frustration, but I do think if regular communication of this type from the horses mouth would give an indication of how things are progressing and why things are happening the way they are. I realize this is no substitute for material news, but I do think regular statements in between material news releases, regarding the operation and non-material progress would in part calm some very frustrated nerves.

Nontheless...I do think that it is far less messy to communicate to the shareholder base through these types of news releases rather than an individual coversation with an individual investor who then disemminates the information secondhand and unofficially to the various boards.
