Agree, understand your point....but it's more than courtesy...it's actually very likely COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to their very investment.  The irony.  These are not horses; these are people with decades of business experience and advanced degrees.  These people are much smarter than many of their investors, and wasting the time of people like Benz is very much like trying to make their own investment worth LESS.  Harass Rubicon if you must (not you in particular, of course), but pay attention to what you accomplish when you harass the honchos.  And I don't know about Benz, but the more one tries to waste my time with pointless emails and nattering, the less I will even CONSIDER responding, for I quickly start to label that person an IDIOT.
