FWIW, may I chuck in my two penneth on the blog/updates topic and comms in general.
I think it is a bad idea, for all the reasons DTW has outlined, as it will never be enough to keep the mob at bay.
AS should not capitulate to the bedwetters, who are few in number, low in understanding of the science (and its IP implications) and self-serving in their criticisms of AS and his team.
Gerry Brandon at Deepverge tried this approach and it was a disaster. He let his ego get control, tried to be 'mates' with his shareholders and ultimately, merely provided ammunition to be hurled back at him (like metaphorical rotten cabbages so favoured by the mob).
Also, and regardless of how some simpletons rail against the concept of NDA's, IMO, if there are ongoing discussions with potential commercial partners, given the potential of the Platform, then I imagine they would insist on a blanket blackout on comms; not to obfuscate or screw PI's but to obfuscate and eventually screw their opposition. The CEO 'blogging' to assuage the tears of bedwetters could scupper the whole deal.
Either you trust AS and the team and their IP and their science, or you don't. If you do, forgive them a few hiccups in their comms style and wait for them to make you wealthy. If you don't, then have the courage of your convictions and . . . silently . . . sell up, leave and put your money in a better prospective AIM company with a chatty, quip-chirping CEO.
