Ann: Change in substantial holding, page-35

Well Redant - most, if not all, organisations have to (at least) to be seen to be taking a responsible position in respect to different policies....so they make all kinds of rules and regulations in order to manage those policies. Thing is, although they sound great in theory, most rules are seen as "guidelines" only and are treated as such because "nobody is perfect".

I am NOT being holier than thou but - the above is suitably demonstrated when compliance of the "divine" rules of life are not adhered to...

• Thou shalt not kill
• Thou shall not steal
• Thou shalt not commit adultery
• etc etc

So, coming back to the corporate sector, the rules & regulations are always going to be treated with contempt - especially when the chances of being prosecuted by the relevant authorities are near zero!!

It is especially frustrating to go to company meetings as a shareholder where there is only a few other holders who are prepared to ask probing questions (at least) of the management. Plenty bitch and moan on different forums but are not prepared to exercise other rights they might have.
