Dear Bryan Burdick, Managing Director, Silicon Investor.
Now that this "Silicon Investor Mishap" is five days in the making, it's probably about time to address some of our issues.
First, our login IDs have been comprised not only once, but actually on three separate occasions over the past several days:
a) <a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990951"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990951"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990951"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990951">http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990951</a></a></a></a><p><br>
Second, actual posting is still "iffy", after these five days:
a) <a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990942"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990942"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990942"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990942">http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13990942</a></a></a></a>
b) notwithstanding that this is the second time for me attempting to get this post to you. "* Error writing to database"
Additionally, SI Admin (Bob) has been doing a commendable job fielding much of this mishap over the past several days:
<a href="/stocktalk/profile.aspx?userid=4591117"><a href="/stocktalk/profile.aspx?userid=4591117"><a href="/stocktalk/profile.aspx?userid=4591117"><a href="/stocktalk/profile.aspx?userid=4591117">http://www.siliconinvestor.com/profile.aspx?userid=4591117</a></a></a></a>
He's an excellent first-line customer service representative, and even three days this is going quite beyond "first-line". Your own input is limited to a singular (1) trite message:
<a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13988775"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13988775"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13988775"><a href="/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13988775">http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=13988775</a></a></a></a>
Bob's been shouldering your own duties, in an admirable way, and my following suggestion is nearly incumbent in evidence, for Bob:<br><br>
a) a promotion and salary increase<br><br><br><br>
b) an options package increase<br><br><br><br>
c) a combination of the above<br><br><br><br>
d) a combination of the above fairly expended from your own, as he's been shouldering your work<p><br><br><br>
Additional requests:<br><br><br><br>
a) please quit revealing our login IDs. Pretty Please. Seriously, Pretty Please.<br><br><br><br>
b) please apprise membership of when posting will be "normalized".<br><br><br><br>
c) please re-aquire the services of Jeff and Brad Dryer (the founders) to supplement, and/or supplant your own Managerial Directorship.
These were Silicon Investor's most basic functions, leaving aside the multitude of other currently broken issues, and they were the cornerstone of what made this a "real" and "great" site. They were proven beyond compare when we had that site called "SI". I believe they call it "SI Classic" now, and even at that, the best which can be managed is "simulated SI Classic". Ideally, that's what we'd like to have back, complete with two guys named Jeff and Brad. After five days, and no response from management (i.e.: Managing Director), keeping us and Bob twisting in the winds of cyberspace is unconscionable.

*EDIT* Well, it's pretty apparent how things turned out trying to edit the formatting of this message. 'Nuff Said. |
