I presumed your information was for persons unfamiliar with the trappings of Due Diligence. Not one such as myself. I was aware of the Pre Proxy statement indicating a shareholder meeting at which the issue of increasing the OS count would be voted on by the shareholders.
The point of my previous post is that not everyone reading your musings is as well versed in due diligence as you or I may be. Since you were raising the issue it would be appropriate for you to include means for the less experienced investor to confirm the information presented for themselves. By failing, and now refusing to provide a link, the newbie investor (most likely to fall for scams) is forced to rely on the information provided in your post. A good promoter would have a field day picking your post apart and confuse the newbie even further. Even the simple http://www.freeedgar.com and telling them to search under ticker ASTN would be most helpful to the newbie investor trying to decide if they wish to plunk their money down on ASTN or not. Certainly more helpful than what was posted. Some might simply dismiss it as ranting commentary by a disgruntled investor. The purpose of adding links is not to make things more difficult for you, the provider of commentary...it is to make things easier for your audience, without whom you might as well scream in the shower.
