I do not know how to get the message through to Malc B, but maybe the next time Black G0ld is having a chat with Tim B after a conference he could explain that in order to be trusted with ordinary people's money he needs to not just meet the letter of the regulations on disclosure of information, but the spirit of them as well. If for no other reason, with the power of the internet ordinary people will find out when you are not telling them the whole truth.
