Sunday night, May 2, I sent this e-mail to La Guardia. ========================================================= Attention Phil Hernandez
Phil:
Your firm was engaged by Massimo Da Milano to do their Investor Relations.
When I first called, I left a message. You got back to me and told me that it was a slow week due to the Easter holiday and everyone was out, your phones were very busy with calls about MDMI and SETO, and things would settle down the following week.
The following week, and every day since then, same thing. Nobody picks up the phone. Now there are numerous complaints that you don't return calls or e-mail.
In - message # 2585 Richard Nisbet wrote:
"...For the record -- I mailed them before 8 a.m. on Thurs. Its now 4:30 a.m. Saturday EST. The least they can do for investors who have concerns is to send off a general email saying something like... "...Thanks for emailing us, we looked at your list of suggestions and will speak to Mr. Verrill about these matters...and will keep you informed when we get a reply....'
That's not too hard...when I call IR at FSON they return calls, they answer emails, and their IR guy Price is eager to answer investors' questions and I've called him at least 6 times."
For what it's worth, that Silicon Investor site - techstocks.com - is an important means of communication by and to Massimo's stockholders who, collectively, own over 5,000,000 shares. a good portion of the (extremely optimistic) float. I'm sure Dana Verrill will let you use MDMI's password for you to log on and post as well as read messages.
Get on the ball and start returning your e-mail and calls. We need you to do a good job for MDMI or it will sink right back into the single digit doldrums where it was before Verrill signed you on.
Please.
At least get back to Richard with answers to some very important question.
And damnit, get a receptionist to take your calls - and be at your post to field questions - that is your job. That answering machine during business hours is an insult.

Since then,
Referring to the questions he e-mailed LG on April 29, message 2562 Richard wrote: "Its now Monday, May 3 10:19 p.m. still no response to ME.
("ME was in caps because LG did respond to someone else, see below...)
Hernandez's response to Old Stock Collector: "...If you will PLEASE leave a message with your number and a good time to call, I promise it will be returned, we hope to have a live person to answer phones at our new offices in the next 15-30 days, I do apologize for the inconvenience."
It doesn't take a month to move an office. Medi-Media, a large Medical PR agency moved one of their offices from Manhattan to Teterboro N.J. in one weekend. They were back up and running at full speed by mid week and never stopped answering their phones. LG has been using the "we're moving" excuse for over a week and expect us to buy it for another two to four more.
I e-mailed LG last week asking them to correct a small but annoying error in the MDMI profile; when you bring up the profile, it has the title "SETO". Very simple to fix but nothing's been done about it.
Verrill tells me he's happy with the job they're doing. If their job is "Investor Relations", this investor doesn't agree.
If anyone here is satisfied with the job this organization is doing, I'd like to see your comments. Maybe I'm wrong.
