Investor Update, page-250

I think you did.

These are questions that few, it seems, want answered. But they're questions that are BASIC about due diligence.

Who did you think were going to answer them ?

Us on HC ? The company ? ASIC ?

You suggest, as always, that no one wants them answered, that we are all cheering and clapping the company line and shutting down people like yourself which makes you feel ignored and suppressed.

Not the case. I for one, don't think for a second I will get to the truth on some or most of your questions unless I'm in the board room, right in amongst the machinations at the time of these issues are being played out.

You might think we have a right to know, because we are owners of the company, but that's not really the case is it. We are backing a horse in a race. That's it. If we are first cape and hold 20% or 40% of the stock then yes we can expect some honest answers from the board. And they will give it because they truly are the owners.

But not us. No one on hot copper. And the wider market will be told what it needs to be told. Nothing more. Please get over it.

What does bother me is why you think we are all shutting you down ? You go on about it so much. Why do you hammer away at it like that ? Most of the fierce reactions you get are the result of a lot of history. And alot of repetition on your part. After all the years of it, its pretty much ranting nowadays.

If you want to be heard on these issues, then just say your peace and then call the company and attend the meetings or do some heavy research and let us know please if you come up with something interesting. Please. I'd like to know.

But why hammer us for not jumping up and being a knight in shining armour for you ? Just do it yourself. Stop condemning us for not getting up and doing it for you.
