"I would appreciate it if Matt, you would confirm that it is a top priority to put together a financing deal and give us a little detail as to a possible time frame when we hope to complete it." Here's the deal: I have never lied to anyone here or knowingly given out information I knew was inaccurate. I am somewhat frustrated due to being cut off from my main office due to doctors orders. I will return to the office on Tuesday February 10, 1998. Hopefully I will get a better feel for what is going on. I know for a fact that it is a top priority, among the parent company, to get us on our own...meaning NO outside funding. From what I have been able to gather from the limited information I have received it should not be to long before we are at that stage of growth. I cant give you a time frame as I have no access to the information necessary to do so. Possible when I go back to my main office I can try and get a better grasp for all of you, but I make no promise's. As I have said from the day I started here...I WILL TRY! I am glad to do what I can, as long as it does not interfere with my work on the web site. Do to the surgery I have been a bit behind on my updates and a few new things I had hoped to add to the site. I am working on a rewrite tonight (hopefully I will get it done). To "head off" another things I foresee being asked.... I have not heard anything about the new PR firm we are looking into (and yes I have asked!). As soon as I am told of anything I will post it here. All I can say to those that are skeptical or shaky on there position with AWLT is to remember I am a stockholder in the company, a fair amount too, and I would love to see the price go up where I can enjoy some of it. Regardless if what some people believe (lurker's that cant post here write me directly) I am salaried and do not get paid any extra or get any "perks" for working more then 40 hours a week. I REALLY do put in ~ 70+ hours a week. I do it because I like my job, I care for the people I work with (we are in this together) and I want to see the company succeeded. This company is my job, it pays my bills and I want to see it succeeded (as does everyone involved with Araldica). You have the choice to believe it or not, it does not matter to me. I have been fortunate to get to know some of you better then others and I am glad for the that, I have seen names come and go from the thread, some are missed and others, well....I wont go there. I have always been open to people e-mailing me and will usually respond rather quickly (I have only refused to deal with people that have been insulting or rude to me directly). As always, I will do what I can to help.... Peace, Matthew
