a summary of our grievances, page-12

Hi Lachmap

Thank you for your words of support.

You asked: 'Would it be prudent for us to copy this letter/email you have so expertly crafted and email it too?'

while I suspect all except those who bought near the recent lows share similar views, I'm never persuaded of the efficacy of orchestrated campaigns where the same parroted lines multiply under different names. I think politicians and others who receive such feedback view it cynically as 'manufactured protest'. It's often said though that TV stations and those very same politicians view every independent letter received as the voice of a hundred more. I'm hopeful that the board will do likewise here and realise it has seriously mis-judged the likely reaction of shareholders to this bid.

For this reason, I would encourage anyone who feels peeved to vent his / her feelings independently.

Regards

Gupper
