Anyone know how many layoffs were from the ED team? Tom Kewell was one, but were there more?

That may well be the case. But my point is that if it is, that's simply down to my incorrect interpretation of the AIM rules. You immediately started suggesting I 'take legal action against my advisors' (sic), and yet there was nothing in my post to suggest I had any such advisers to take legal action against. More to the point, how could I take any legal action over any such advice (if it existed) that merely caused me to make an erroneous statement on a public game forum with zero negative impact to myself? To make any form of legal action stick against someone offering advice (which they were not) that advice must cause a loss. I really don't see anyone suffering a loss from a post on the ED forums!
Whilst I'll happily accept I may have misinterpreted the AIM guidance, your post really *was* coming out of la-la land, because there was nothing in mine at all to drive the OTT drivel in yours about legal action and so-called advisers. Your entire post was illusory and predicated on nothing except a minor error on my part, and yet you attempted to make it all self-important and full of bluster.
Now that really is someone living in la-la land, I sure hope it's sunny there

The company. FD is on the stock exchange now.
Investors like getting paid. Dividends are money you get for holding stock (as opposed to selling it)...

It's usually peanuts though, no?
Yeah, that's my understanding. I'm not active in investing though, so I can't really comment more deeply
I think they are mainly attractive because they let you buy more shares... like compound interest, and have tax advantages.

Microsoft stock, for example, sells for ~$44, and pays ~$1.25 dividend annually. http://www.streetinsider.com/dividend_history.php?q=MSFT
So if you purchased 35 shares of MS stock, you would have 36 shares next year. And it compounds.

Exactly. That's why I think the lack of dividend is not going to be a major detrimental factor for potential investors. They'd rather look at long term profits (for long term investors) or the price fluctuation charts (for active traders looking to make a quick buck).
Dividends, more often than not, relate to surplus cash and simply returning it to investors.
Few high growth companies (ie FDEV) pay dividends as they're constantly re-investing their income, developing core product (ED) and thereby growing the business and ultimately the value of its assets.
Capital growth is, more often than not, far more valuable than dividend income to investors in AIM tech stocks.
