Why is your Northwest Bio page months out of date? For me, this destroys your credibility as a reputable organization!

Great Question.  Seeking Alpha is primarily about delivering short form news and analysis articles and that is our core strength, especially when combined with the excellent comment community who puts many of our articles through a microscope..  We have also recently started delivering stock ratings for subscribers, this is another exclusive item.   

However, most of the company data that we provide, we get from third party sources and you will see the same bios. for example, on many websites, depending on which data provider the website pulls it from.  Here is an example of another site which uses the same bio word for word.    This "commodity" data is provided for the convenience of our users, and it appears on professional financial platforms as well (In our case, from S&P Capital IQ)   We have recently switched to this data provider because it has better accuracy and support.

It is hard for a casual user of Seeking Alpha, who is not in the market data industry, to understand what is specific to Seeking Alpha and what is just commodity data that you can really get on any website, although we do try to organize the data displays so that it provides a good user experience. 

Hope this helps
