A sad letter and some housekeeping

Readers of these pages should realize that although contributions are moderated, that is purely to avoid threats of physical violence and the use of foul language. Neither of these are any help in our predicament, and merely serve to rouse other people into manifesting similar thought patterns.
Nevertheless, I realized this morning that several people have left comments at various times and which were published. Yet, when I went looking for them, I couldn't find them. Yes, I do have a beard, but it doesn't hang over my eyes, and it took me some time to find the comments in question. To see what others commented on specific entries, just look at the bottom of that entry, and it actually states the number of comments in blue (eg. 1 comment). By clicking on that link, the comment will open up for you to read. Perhaps you knew this already, but I actually expected that comments would be openly visible with each entry - not so.

Yesterday afternoon, after posting two emails from the same lady, I took them down again half an hour later. I have decided earlier not to publish each individual, but poignant story of everybody that writes to the blog, but to rather concentrate on events as they take place. Of course your individual case is extremely important, and adds to the indictment of Edwafin/Stapleton/Cowan/Gardiner and the until recently hyperactive Polliah. On the other hand we all have a similar story to tell: Edwafin/Edwabond took (all) our money and now seems to be unable to deliver on it, with the real danger of folding and making a run for it. I publish Alta's email as an example. To provide some background: Alta had given her permission to publish her emails on this blog, and told of her personal experience as a recent staff member (she was retrenched from DMC late last year) and investor with Edwafin. Her story is sad, like so many I have heard over the last few weeks, but also similar to so many in the sense that, she has entrusted money, and got nothing for it. She also discovered that the company's benevolent fund contributions had not been paid over. Like so many investors, there is a hesitation to hire legal assistance, purely because of the cost factor, the intimidatory image of our legal system, and the perceived legal entrenchment of companies like Edwafin, and people like Stapleton. This is her second letter:
