Unfortunately, the company needs money, hence the reason they are selling shares in the company, at who knows what price.

Giving shares to shareholders does not accomplish that task, in fact, it could be argued that the shareholders would be shooting themselves in the foot.

I understand your sentiment, we've been treated poorly for the support we've shown, communication-wise.

How about we wait until there are sales and people actually want the shares before we start asking for freebies..?
