Orion, Would it be worth trying to get phone conversation with Ballas? If he talked to Scracthgolf in the past, it seems that Craig F. could get something arranged for another long tome shareholder to have a call with him as well.
If he did, he might spew nothing but BS, but at least it would allow him to hear from someone that was a true champion for the company, but has now soured due to the developments over the past few months.
May be worth a shot! JMHO
