Not to support pointless, but IMO the exception that GE has shown towards Ron seems odd. Going back to past posts, two things that stand out is that Rebecca voiced her support for the last shareholder letter AND she took the initiative to share ronran's email with others requesting the address so that they could send their count to Ron.
While she never divulged that she had participated in the last letter, there appears to be what I think lawyers call circumstantial evidence that suggests her participation.
Much more important though is that I concur with the last two sentences of your posts and am hopeful that some will realize that what have lately seemed like stumblingblocks are actually nothing more than pebbles.
