'No company writes announcements'

What absolute non-sense!!! Have a look at other companies announcements!!!!!!

'that way and very few will even consider responding to an email requesting clarification on a point in question.'

A well worded and full disclosure announcement should notrequire emailing the company for interpretation and clarification.

' think that we are extremely lucky that we are not being treated with contempt by DW in 88E'

What do you mean by that? David and Board are receiving significant remuneration and incentives based in anticipatory success, which to date has not happened, most likely institutional investors have made significant profits! That is contempt!

'and are afforded the respect and consideration that I believe all companies should treat shareholders with.'

Why are some shareholders, look at the trading activity, where clearly some shareholders are selling and buy at the right time on huge volume. Why?

'We should however send respectful emails that are well thought out and responsible.'

There should be no need for emails, if the announcements are fully transparent and easy to interpret.

'Where would you draw the line Boston? Even if you dumbed it down to the comprehension of a two year old someone would misunderstand it.'

I said to be interpreted by an average shareholder, who by law must be older that 18 years of age to enter into a contract, to say two year old make you sound dim witted.

'that will always be the case.'

Not at all, well worded and full disclosure announcement are normal in high quality companies.

'Perhaps some should have things explained to them by their/a financial adviser or possibly even accept the fact that they could well be out of their depth by investing in a sector that they don't fully comprehend...... That's for others to judge.'

When there a numerous comments stating, clearly from HC commentators of intelligence and with share trading experience , the announcement is obtuse. That does not require an financial advisor, or out of their depths, but there is something wrong with the operation of the company.

Thank you Bill Gates for your comments.
