I sent to Araldica the same Email I sent to you. Want you know the answer? It's really unbelievable... unbelievable as all this matter.
You can say I'm paranoic, but now I suspect that all you (and/or your father Frank) said are simply not true.
I really hope I'm wrong. If I am wrong I pray you to excuse me, but now I (and with me all the AWLT shareholders, I think) want facts. Facts as the reconnaissance from Reuter or any other press agency that what you said it happened it's what it happened.
P.S. This is the AWLT answer:
Please use e-mail to request standard and public company information
only, and not as a means of personal communication with any of the
officers, employees and directors of Araldica Wineries, Ltd.
There are 12 officers, directors and employees of the company, none of
whom - including the webmaster - have the time to personally respond to
dozens of daily
messages we currently receive (like "How's things?" and "What can you
tell me?").
If we wanted to (we don't), and if we could (we can't), we still could
not give to each inquiry the usually non-public and company confidential
information that is being
repeatedly requested.
THE COMPANY'S PRESS RELEASES- AND OCCASIONAL WEB SITE INFORMATION
UPDATES- ARE ITS ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Please do not call the company's employees, or officers and directors,
for more information than has been released; you are not going to get a
response.
We do not have, and are not going to hire, a person just to handle the
dozens of daily inquirers we receive; all that has been accomplished by
our people attempting to keep up with such inquirers in the past, even
though they have now been instructed not to do so, usually, is hard
feelings and misunderstandings.
I'm sorry if many will not understand or accept this policy, but it is
the only way we can proceed; we cannot afford to hire a staff of people-
and an extra lawyer -just to keep our many e-mailers happy.
I thank you all for your interest in Araldica, and remind you that we
are trying our best to get out any new information on a timely basis; if
it does not happen as fast as you would like, there is usually a reason,
and not always one we can discuss without first obtaining legal
approval, be it good news or bad.
