I don't expect to see a PR. How could you? Why would they put out a PR to tell you they shipped on Monday when they could wait 2 weeks to say they just shipped...j/k :)
I understand your take and feel you are being very level headed about this. But, my feeling is they won't put out a PR on Monday, reiterating Thursday and confirming what they expect investors to believe, nor do they need to. If they do or don't read the boards, I would be shocked and disappointed if I felt my investment was so weak that the company needs to put out a PR about scheduled shipments, then put out another PR to confirm and strengthen the previous PR.
If they felt investor confidence was so weak that they had to do that, then I am at a loss for what's next. You have to show confidence to expect investors to return that confidence and the only way to do that is to continue to meet and exceed expectations, even if that starts with this PR.
