ER: Fair point. I know that you and several other board members have periodically referenced receiving replies from Cyrus and past CYDY management members on a variety of topics. In sharing the info received through such emails, board members have often been able to pass along info that usually resolved some particular word or phrase that had caused confusion. However, in the instance of the current status of the HIV clinical hold, I have a very hard time imagining how Cyrus (or any other member of management) could possibly respond fairly and accurately to a private email seeking that status info without disclosing non public, potentially insider info -- because what he said on that subject during the cc was so confusing to be basically unintelligible.
I confess that I have never sent an email requesting CYDY related info to any member of management during the 5 years I have been a shareholder. My inaction to do so is based on the assumption that any info provided in response would, as the law requires, either be publicly available already or of no material consequence. Nevertheless, I do not suggest that shareholders who email management are wasting their time. Each shareholder can and should decide if that method of communication is productive for them. And gaining even minor clarifications on pertinent info is clearly a worthwhile endeavor. My own preference, however, is to use the posting privileges provided by this website is a potentially more productive means of communicating with CYDY management regarding significant matters -- the opportunity for which I am always most grateful.
I have no idea, of course, whether Cyrus or any other member of management or the BOD pays even scant attention to the posts on this board. However, it strikes me that the management of a publicly traded company, and perhaps especially a publicly traded company that has stumbled in matters of investor confidence for several years, might find it useful to periodically utilize an available opportunity to gauge shareholder sentiment on matters of consequence. And I doubt there would be a better place for Cyrus to do that than by spending a few minutes every day or so reading some of the topics on the front page of our board. And I submit that if he were to read the posts by Ken and Gambler this morning he would realize, if he hadn't already, that his attempt during the cc to address a matter of substantial importance to shareholders, the status of the HIV clinical hold, had failed miserably. If I were him, I would want to know that info, so that I could remedy it in a future public statement as opposed to doing so by an email response to an individual shareholder.
