As you may or may not be aware, electronic disclosure must be certified by Apple as a measure of due diligence, and I am volunteering to do this basic compliance check as a lifetime Apple user working in the financial markets, a lonely combination I assure you. I am personally willing to moderate the board for regulatory and compliance risks, particularly those related to electronic disclosure as regulated by Sarbanes-Oxley compliance standards 302/802. I feel it is important to plug as many holes and potential gaps in the system as possible, and fear that certain message boards and company-endorsed listserv posts would/could produce significant risks to the market of insider trading (perceived or actual) and also possibly affect the global digital reputation of Apple Computer.

While I realize this is probably not the ideal definition of a “moderator”, it couldn’t hurt to consider the need that I am describing, and to picture that I am offering Apple this service for free because I feel it is that important to the long-term growth of the company to see Apple start making itself an XBRL-reporting SOX compliant website that acts as a serious competitor in the financial markets, maybe even the leader.

Due diligence and compliance can be the same thing; doing nothing would be a huge mistake for the company during such an exciting time for Apple’s public market success.
