Pretty sure an explanation would have far less negative effects than a no show without reasoning. Quit making excuses for them and demand an explanation instead of justifying everything they do. Weaker investors is a pseudonym for new investor who doesn't know any better. Real investors, I'm assuming plenty on here are, are the ones that stock around and don't flake. Potential major investors are the ones going to bail out for things like that. Not doing something that you say you will to customers, in this case shareholders, is a sure fire way of making them leave and not return. I love this product and company, but they're displaying worrisome business habits. So, hold them accountable instead of making excuses on their behalf. I'm sure the reason he didn't show is no big deal and understandable, so it shouldn't be to much to ask for an explanation. I'm just saying a shareholders event is pretty damn major of an event to blow off without a damn good reason and I'd like to know what that reason is.
