Roger, your point is well made. In this day/age where information flows so QUICKLY, EFFICIENTLY and THOROUGHLY via the Internet, Yahoo boards, SI, Motley Fool, et al, a company that has a relatively-short window of opportunity to "make it's case" can't afford to be lethargic, if not outright apathetic, about releasing timely and pertinent information, via press release, external IR rep, or however.
The lack of public information being made available to us by our own company's management is damaging. There surely are stories being made and contracts being signed weekly, if not daily, that deserve to be announced, and I really have to wonder if failure to come up with some tangible, positive news that's NEWSWORTHY is somehow related to the capabilities of external IR rep/company being used ?
PROPOSAL FOR TPRO MGMNT - If nothing else, cut a deal with one or two reputable Fortune 500s (as in "discount your contracted price") as a trade-off to gain their agreement to issue a joint press release when contracts are signed. This initiative PRESUMES contracts are being signed as we speak, but not being announced for reasons thouroughly hashed out by others in prior posts (I tend to agree BTW that, all things being equal, no one wants to air their problems w/ Y2K in a press release).
OUR MANAGEMENT has to find a way to overcome this disabling and damaging issue of "when can we release information", & focus on making it a WIN/WIN for TPRO stockholders and the company who contracts for the work.
