regarding these news releases over the website, we could speculate that he doesn't have a choice?
otherwise, again, if we know they have money to send people to conferences, and thus money for a regular PR, why would he not issue over a newswire?
imo, maybe he doesn't care about the investment community right now. maybe he's just trying to keep present shareholders interested until he is able to produce THE PR that we, including myself, have anxiously been waiting for..
