Dear Reader,

We've been spending some time upgrading Webb-site.com - you may notice that our archive now includes a page for each past and present HK-listed company with share buyback disclosures since buybacks were first allowed in 1991, and with changes in issued share capital since Dec-06. We'll be adding new features soon - watch this space. Meanwhile, we need your help with an opinion poll. All votes are confidential. Your voting PIN is at the top of this e-mail.
