Good points diamondj. However, when you take an expensive diamond ring to a jeweler to appraise or clean, you don't let them take it into the back where you can't see. Legitimate jewelers keep it out front where you can see them doing it. Too much has happened behind close doors for a reason. Granted there is information that needs to be kept hidden for strategic reasons and this may even be the case here. The problem is the level of trust......there isn't one. I trust my jeweler to take rings and such into the back but he has earned that trust from years of good service and care for the customer. It is a simple matter to solve but we are told by all actions that we are not worth considering. The BOD may in fact be working to provide a maximum buyout potential, but then again we may just turn into another ARU. We simply don't know and they offer no faith... when it is so simple to do. All they have to do is inform us. They have an IR firm that they pay to do this kind of thing but all they provide us with is a feedback loop. Read through the posts, check the history, we all don't agree on what to do but we do agree that what we have now is not ideal.
