brentjanice, regarding number 6. I think Jim Plant is taking the share structure issue a little to humorously. The TA works for the company, I would have preferred hearing Jim say something along these lines, "I would like your company to openly answer questions from shareholders regarding the share structure, if you need something in writing, I will gladly provide it, if you can't manage, perhaps I should look for another TA agent. The term "gagged" is often used metaphorically by short traders as a weapon to cast dispursions on a company".
By the way, here's a transfer agent that answers calls from any shareholder.
