I don't mean to imply criticism of recent posters, but I would observe that some may not understand the dynamic of companies and their shareholders.
In my experience the employees of a public company are focused on the day to day activities and executing managements plan for the business.
The reality was that not a lot of time was devoted to thinking about individual shareholders grumbles and idiosyncratic objectives for the company.
As long as there were no monetary emergencies management had more than enough to occupy their time without worrying too much about grizzles from shareholders. I have to say that I think it is naive to imagine management or the BoD are going to concern themselves with individual shareholders expressing their frustrations on this platform. I say that even though I share some of those frustrations.
