"Surely if they were that obvious, awareness is granted - anyway why?"

Brickwalls,

You are now twisting my arm and I will reply simply because I do not like to leave a question unanswered.

Tony, as anyone would know, is also the MD/CEO of a Company. As such, he is required by the HC rules that he has to make it known to HC and it's Forums, that he is a person holding such a position.

In the PLV threads, there were a few posters there that were continuously attacking him and baiting him for silly reasons. This was ongoing and never seemed to stop. Many of them were also "NON HOLDERS".

One of them silly reasons, was the continuing ridiculing of him about the amount of money he was receiving from his employement with PLV, and as to how he was receiving as much. He also made it clear on countless occasions that it was the Board that decided on his emoluments. Not him. But, that was not sufficient for the attackers to put an end to it, and they continued in their merry ways.

You have to realise though that, IMHO, if brains were meant to be dynamite, some of them wouldn't have enough in there to blow their hairs apart.

Now, anyone with a little brain in their heads, would have realised that Tony could only take so much and would have to either react by attacking them and risking a suspension, or just pull back from the forums leaving the shareholder for themselves, and suffering as a result.

And the latter was the decision that he choosed to take. Now, what would you have done if you were in his place??

Tony has always been willing to discuss anything that could be openly discussed in an open forum with his investors and shareholders (up to certain restrictions and limitation of course), and now the poor shareholders have been left hanging.

He now comes in every now and then, when time permit, and he is willing to answer what he can, even to the "NON HOLDERS". And Yes, he even replied to question put forward from AKA, that he is a "NON HOLDER"!!

Now where have you seen that before??? No where at all IMHO. And IMO many other MD's and CEO's should take a leaf from his book and do the same by participating in discussion with their shareholders, OPENLY.

Good luck mate.
