Ben, it seems to me that you're making a very basic error. If individual shareholders function as unofficial proxy spokesmen for management, what level of credibility should be assigned to their statements? And how does this state of affairs appear to new investors just learning about MZEI?
Answer: unprofessional.
This is not a knock on those shareholders who are trying hard to help the rest of us (threw, waterdog, phrantic, e.g.). But it is not a good way for management to deal with information, to say the least.
