Unlike my novels, Aggie's post is short, simple and to the point. Your retort had absolutely nothing to do with what Aggie said.
Nobody is denying that people power doesn't work but you can't just reinterpret history to support your desired outcome. As was pointed out to you the board didn't listen to shareholders pleas. They didn't react to the hundreds of emails and decide to do the right thing. They waited for every last proxy to turn up in the mail, they counted them and with the full knowledge of which way shareholders had voted they decided not to bother turning up and to pull the motions thus avoiding the necessity of sending out a potentially even more embarrassing announcement detailing the actual numbers. You however declare this sequence of events as the chairman listening to shareholders emails and use it to support your rationale for everybody once again emailing the chairman so that they we once again listen, just like last time.
The problem my friend is that they don't give two shoots what most of us think and they care even less about what you think, and unless the message that we send comes on a proxy form then in most cases it won't even be read.
I'm all for making a point but if your intent on doing so then get off your backside and do it. Stop abusive others for not doing it for you and stop changing history to try and convince everybody that emails to the chairman achieved something in the past when in reality the emails utterly failed but the proxy succeeded. People power works but only when that is focused on the true pressure point.
