RE: This halt might be benefical-As a long standing shareholder here, I have quietly watched the developments over the past years, and have supported Michael's vision and respected his fiscal prudence. However, I must admit to being totally miffed at the lack of a news release by MO addressing this cease trade order, which in my view is a serious and material issue, even if it only deals with specific wording within a technical reporting document. The fact of the matter is that Michael seems to take the time to talk to individual shareholders who call up,(if one is to believe the posts here, and I do) and perhaps he is comfortable doing so, possibly even because in part one may later be able to deny what was said on a one-to-one non recorded basis, as opposed to putting out a hard copy factual(translation: irrefutable) news release for everyone to read. When the shares of a publicly traded company are denied trading privileges by the authorities, a full, proper and immediate explanation is required, in my view, if a company is to have retain credibility. Anything less is a show of total disrespect to the shareholders. One poster here stated that he'd expect a news release early next week, well, to me that is not good enough at all. There should have been one yesterday, today at the latest, jmvho. Waiting over a weekend while everyone is guessing and brooding over exactly what the issues are, is highly inappropriate. Michael, your credibility is on the line here, get that NR out now!!!!
Sorry for the tirade, just frustrated at the latest turn of events.
