Agree completely, about the unnecessary silence, it is exactly what I agree with! I meant that the 'news blackout' to excuse the silence prior to the merger close is NOT true or to this extend necessary. It is choice, self-imposed whatever one calls it, and VERY damaging, to us loyal shareholders and the company's stock price in the future, as we all have a memory!
Regulatory matters, legal matters etc are mere false excuses this board had come up with to excuse the chosen silence of management and accepted as a fact. That's what frustrates me: false excuses are not facts, no matter how often they get repeated!
