Shocked by Estatics postI can't believe NAG opted to not update shareholders about their inability to fill in a form. All the recent bashing has really bugged me as I didn't think that their bashing had a leg to stand on ,...but this error and NAG's decision to sweep it away is DISTURBING. Again here is Estatic's post that have missed it,....Nice one NAG,....I feel like I'm the canary who was dropped into the coal mine,....chance are little to null of survival.
