I am a little perplexed by your and other shareholder's constant comments labeling anyone who questions management's actions "paid bashers." Is it so inconceivable that a shareholder might be angry that his investment and support of a company (many of us over a decade or more) has been apparently intentionally managed to require a reverse split? That a run over a dollar which might have been managed to regain NASDAQ compliance was sold into with shelf shares, thereby driving the stock price down from $1.13 to half that? The company line is that cash in the bank is needed, but wouldn't it have been in the company's interest to regain compliance and then issue the shelf shares? It appears to me, at least, that this was the game plan all along, and it wasn't a shareholder friendly game being played by management.
Maybe in the alternative, some here are "management shills" and are being used to promote, possibly naively, a plan that rewards management far beyond their level of entitlement to the exclusion of benefits drifting down to the lowly level of the shareholder who put up hard-earned cash to pay their salaries and the bills.
