TO ALL:
Sorry I haven't been able to respond to the many posts put up the past few days... I have been "under the weather" the entire weekend and spent most of the time sleeping. E.M., REW and Peacelover have raised very valid points... as have all of you. I still remain very positive about TSIG, but I do have questions... many the same as have been expressed on this forum.
Just as a point of information regarding the CCI website, I saw the "original" site as a beta tester prior to the current site being put up. It was, IMO, radically superior with more "glitz" than the present site. The changes to the current site were apparently demanded by a former employee of TSIG. Hastings Communciations was paid to make a "complete" website and were very open to suggestions from shareholders... as many of you know. They were also prepared to complete the website at no additional cost to TSIG. Modifications and improvements could have been made in the future, but it would have been fully functioning. For some reason they do not seem to be involved any longer as TSIG has brought in their own webmaster who has hidden himself behind a "firewall" (perhaps not his own decision... perhaps it is his decision). When I and others see gross typos (such as run together words) there is just no excuse for these not to be immediately corrected. It is just plain sloppy work. If, as they claim, the webmaster reads all the e-mails and someone at TSIG is reading SI every day, then they are well aware of little things like the "run together" words. Fix them! At least Hastings had these typos corrected immediately. If, as I have heard, a brand new website is almost ready to be put up and it is all that we expect it to be, then I will be glad to offer a public apology after I see it, but until that time I am sick and tired of hearing about the "new" gurus who are now or are coming on board.
I can understand management and the Company not wanting to divulge inside information, but the website is now in the public domain... there is no excuse for any clandestine secretive maneuvers. There is an old expression... "money talks, B.S. walks". I'll modify it a little for TSIG... "actions talk... B.S. walks". Without a fully functioning (and I mean "fully functioning") website, any potential deals for selling the "Card" are nonsense. Management should be thrilled that it has shareholders who are willing to put in their time and effort to help improve the Company. If they are not then I want to know it now.
You can probably sense that I am angry. I am upset that management has allowed things to get to this position with its' shareholders. IMO, TSIG still has enormous potential and I still personally believe it will make it to the top. I have not changed my mind about that aspect in any way. But, I want some answers and I want them now... not only for myself, but for all shareholders. It's time we had some truth and facts so that this thread does not become a "bashing" center for TSIG's own shareholders.
I intend to speak with Rob Gordon, James Guild, and the webmaster this week and will report back to the thread. This is NOT inside information that cannot be discussed. And, BTW, please don't anyone ever call me a biased "hyper". I will always call them as I see them. Again, I am still very positive about the future of TSIG, but we are all entitled to some direct truthful answers about what is going on right now with our Company.
Best always,
Marty |
