Here is my gut on this--and it is just my gut, I don't have any knowledge. I think investor information tends to be scanty for two reasons. One, that is common practice with small, struggling companies--treat the shareholders like mushrooms--keep them in the dark and feed them b*********. Two, the history of this company in overpromising/distorting/fabricating information turns shareholders into detectives--every statement is dissected, fact-checked and parsed syntactically. Yes, yes someone went to jail. That could make present leadership extremely nervous about anything that could be construed as pumping.

That said, we need to improve this. Social media should allow us to better keep loyal, and I do mean that--I respect those of you who kept this company alive for others to come in later, shareholders in the loop and engaged. I suspect it is pure nightmarish hell in the WSGI offices some weeks. It is always that way in start-up, especially one that gets stuck there for a decade. How do you communicate to investors when what little good news you have is proprietary and the rest of the week's news is bad? It sux but it is part of the job. It is human to avoid it or neglect it, but, obviously, it needs done.

Let's not let them off the hook on this. Request Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, a Blog from anyone on anything. Legally reviewed PR's (and I am sure they are) keep you safe but they aren't enough. I have sympathy for Glenn and Tony but not enough to not hold their feet to the fire on this one. I did more posting from AUVSI and I wasn't there. That isn't a conspiracy IMO, it is just human--but we need to demand better. JMHO
