Really thoughtful & thought-provoking post, bb. You have summed up well the frustrations of many shareholders and made it understandable instead of confrontational. Your complaints & call for immediate attention to areas that can be improved swiftly are valid. As balanced as it is, I can only hope you sent this in e-mail form to Tony. They need to realize they have an incredibly supportive shareholder base who can be partners in their success instead of dissatisfied customers on a train of failure.
"I believe that Clint and Co had a brilliant idea. I believe that they tried hard to get the start-up off and running. I believe that went the unfortunate route of toxic financing. I believe they ran into the recession. I believe the uplist took longer than they anticipated."
This paragraph is the missing link. I have the impression Clint feels pressure from shareholders means abandonment when it's quite the contrary. It means we still care about our investment enough to participate in the discussion. There is still that glimmer of hope for an idea and actual product that exceeds many things in the industry today. Business models must be consistently re-examined and adjusted in a liquid environment, which seems to be the overarching demand of many on this board, a demand summed up well in your post.
BTW - I'm gonna go with #4 on LC's informal survey :)
My best to you...
