I think LP would lose what remains of her credibility if she/MB say nothing of real substance at ASCO wrt DC VAX L. I would then share similar sentiments about LP as does Scottie.
Insofar as sending the wrong message via MB to management is concerned, I disagree with you. In a telephone conversation with Les about two years ago, I asked Les whether he read the iHub MB. He said that he did but was surprised about the many misconceptions posts conveyed. I told him that that is precisely the reason that CCs should be conducted. MBs provide a microcosm, sample or barometer if you will about what shareholders and others think. As part of IR, consulting the MBs gives management some idea when combined with other info on investor thinking. Perhaps, investor misconceptions are due to lack of clear and effective communication on the part of management. As part of his function in IR, I would hope that DI reads the MB for the very reason I have cited. In fact, Les communicated with many JB denizens including yours truly. Perhaps unwittingly, he used the MB as a vehicle for communicating with shareholders knowing full well that telephone conversations would find their way to the MB. And it also should be noted that manipulators use the board to spread messages of distrust and doubt as has been made abundantly clear by Jim Cramer. No doubt, AF used the MB to advance his agenda. Accordingly, I do believe that a sense of what the more at large investing is thinking does in fact find its way to management. So I stand by my statement concerning a wrong message being sent which management is likely to read.
