rugbyman, you, me and I am sure many more people sent emails and called. I also know that someone over there looks at these message boards. They know that the increase in the AS had hit the streets. They also know that it was reflected in the drop in SP. IMHO they put out the PR to stop the bleed and so they could continue to raise money by selling shares in to the market. If the SP dropped too low then there would not be enough volume to make up for the lower SP they would have to sell shares at.
I think they have made around $13,000 so far today but if the SP had dropped to say .004 or lower that number would have been much less.
