Are they offering you money or hoping you will give them some ?
Neither. It was a 'Hey! We (finally) published something!' notification.They seem to be a start up security research company. They hadn't done /anything/ public that I'm aware of. The message in question was their first / initial use of the mailing list.
I had shares in a company that took the official receiver 14 years to wind up* and I got a cheque at the end of it ! There were some interim payments but IIRC there would have been gaps of over 2 years with no news. In that case I would have been very unhappy if they had thrown out the list as "stale".
I feel like "is an investor / has shares in the company" is a significantly different association / relationship than a "sing up if you want to learn more when we publish something" (with an implicit Any Time Now™).
Oh, and annual events that were cancelled last year because of COVID ought to have told you, but if you weren't told the 2020 date because there wasn't one, the announcement this year could be two years after the previous message.
Agreed. But that's decidedly not the case with this example. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
