All, Today, eight days beyond the 48 hours within which they indicate they will respond to bulletin board messages, I received this response. I was so annoyed with their lack of response that I prompted them again and this is what I got.
Dear Mr. Faust: We sincerely apologize for not getting back with you sooner. It was simple oversight, and there is no excuse for it. Fred Green of Ault has asked me to respond to your earlier e-mail, and he would like you to know that a more aggressive investor relations program is being developed. As part of this effort, he will be addressing a large group of Minneapolis investors next week. His remarks and slides will be posted on the Ault Web site in their entirety. He will also be going to New York and San Francisco this fall to meet with targeted institutional investors, who specialize in both tech-related and micro-cap stocks. And, yes, he is considering additional press releases, but Fred is always sensitive to competitive considerations (i.e., letting his competition know more than he wants them to).
Again, we appreciate your interest in Ault. And we will respond more promptly the next time.

Am I being overly critical or is this a pretty lame response? Who is Dick Cinquina and Cinquina & Associates, Inc.? ". . . a more aggressive investor relations program is being developed." OK, so this is definately a step in the right direction, but hey, I asked about public relations. Good to hear Mr. Greene will be making a few appearances w/ investors and institutional buyers, but ... this fall?
I'm feeling a little cynical, so I'll stop. Comments?
It would be good for them to hear from more of us. Here's their web page bulletin board address: dgi.net
