A NOTE ABOUT OUR NEW PHONE & FAX LINE'S
A note to all [2] irate shareholders and newsletter publishers, in re the company's new telephone line installations-
Bell Atlantic promised, in early February, that the company's new Manhattan telephone and facsimile numbers would be operational at some point during the last week of February.
That was apparently before they realized that their problem- almost being out of new "212" area code numbers- was requiring the installation of hundreds of new trunk lines in many NYC office buildings, to accommodate the new issuance of the few remaining 212 numbers.
We are now awaiting the completion of this project for the building at 137 Fifth Avenue; our latest "outside date" for operational numbers is now 12 March.
If you would like to complain, call Bell Atlantic at 800-596-9639, and tell them how upset you are with their installation delays.
Since (i) we have maintained the old 914-636-0500 company number for the convenience of all (even though we have left New Rochelle and relocated to Manhattan), so that we can at a minimum receive messages, and (ii) we have done all that we can to facilitate the installation of our new Manhattan numbers, I consider it rather pointless for anyone to call and leave messages that suggest that I or the company are responsible for your inability to yet get through to a live Araldica employee.
We have no choice but to live through this; I suggest that those of you that do not yet understand the situation that exists, also resign yourself to living through it for another week or so.
We have recently issued [3] formal press releases, and made [4] new web site postings, to try to keep shareholders and others up to date; if some of you still feel I, and the company, are being "criminally negligent" (my most recent voice mail message) in not providing sufficient information to you, I must assume that we will never be able to satisfy you, and consequently we will, regretfully, ignore messages from certain of our callers in the future.
