IGKW: You miss the point, you put my quotes in Speech Marks, and this is exactly how it's meant. Don't take it as literal! when I say 'make a fuss' or 'demand', you have to follow reasonable etiquette, as I'm sure you know! Being downright rude on an e-mail is different to being diplomatically forceful. You may not even get a reply to either!
You suggested they will release news when good and ready, of course they will but collectively, the Shareholder's need to become one voice and this is not happening. The BoD will, as they have been, dither at their leisure because they don't give a Twopenny Cuss about the Shareholder's because they've already bled you dry!
As there is very little investment going in to FLPC, and there won't be for the forseeable future, they won't bother to make much, if any, contact with you lot because there's nothing to be gained UNLESS they spin another temporary yarn for one last ditch attempt to claw in more revenue based on any hype which they pull out of the hat. Anyone who believes what they say and pours good money after bad, has MUG written across their forehead! Most here know this, but a few haven't yet seen the light.
It's down to the BoD whether or not to write back to each and everyone one of you who, justifiably, complains about the dilatory way the company has been run, and also how little they keep everyone up to speed on ANYTHING at all which is happening...even if they say NOTHING is happening, but....at least it's contact.
Don't forget, you have the right to complain. They have or had your money, now you want to know what they propose to do with it (if per chance any of it still exists). They also have an obligation to release anything that gives the Shareholder some acknowledgement of interest which the BoD still has in attempting to maintain some sort of equilibrium between them and you. In other words, they need to appease the Shareholder by releasing SOME SORT of news that suggests there is something on the way, BUT they won't put a time frame on it. This is because they know full well they won't be able to live up to expectations, so nothing that will suggest this will be written in to the next public notice. All you will get is the usual rubbish update laced with what is likely to be full of hot air and nothing remotely believable...as usual.
