Nobody feels entitled to anything and it certainly doesn't matter what kind of site this is (retail/accredited)....you don't publicly release different information to different classes of investors and/or shareholders...period.
I applaud John's attempt to raise awareness (and perhaps the share price)but don't berate others for posting what John chose to release publicly...he knows better.
If any NYSE listed company did this, they would have some serious carpet time with the SEC.
FWIW, I came across the email as well and thought it was a smokin' update.
