The only effort they need to put in is to face the people who trusted in them. If they are not willing to do that I would say this is over. I have put the remaining shares I have up for sale but will hold off if everyone wants to give this a try. Will you be writing to them LL? This could be interesting if they go for the idea.
If a chat room environment is the way they want to go I can set up a blog on te DD site. They really need to man up and face us at least by means of a Confrence call.
