For a commercial, for-profit, publicly held corporation to meet to your
demands, for openness, would probably be a violation of US law on their
part, on some level or multiple levels. I believe that you know this and
are simply grand-standing.

As Karl A stated in the NC meeting, lest someone accuse me of being an
NSI shill, my cash-flow to that organization has been in the wrong
direction. I'm not even an investor/shareholder, they are an expense,
for MHSC.

I find it preposterous that you would demand that someone violate their
personal honesty and integrity by violating the trust of their employer.
Don is being as objective as he can afford to be. Remember that he is an
officer of NSI. As such, he is under certain obligations. In his seat,
would you answer these demands? I think not.

I vehemently disagree.
