Alright, suppose AWLT's primary goal IS to market wines to its Italian -American Customer base.... and lets assume they are achieving that goal. For Matthew J. Landi Matt... Everyone's PO'd at you/AWLT on this thread, and comments may have been tough enough to invert your sense of humor to the investors here. Maybe we don't have a 5% position or the ability to get together and parlay a position on the BOD... But you have the ability to convey the current status of the company to us. All we want is basics. No Hype. No BS. No evasion. Just facts. I can understand the position that you are in here, mouthpiece for the web folks/investors, and not a lot of internal "official in-the-know" information available to you to promulgate. The last thing that I am sure that you are concerned with is the price of the stock, since that probably stands second in line next to the corporate goals list. IMO, the BOD is probably gunshy at making any "official" announcements about the company's progress; that is, until they are written in stone. That's not necessarily your fault Matthew. Maybe you can find something in the rough that you could give us to "feed" on, and keep us interested. I also think that in all probability, with the way that managements efforts to produce "positive, market influental" progress reports have stalled, that the stock will probably remain low key price wise, and anyone looking to gain in the short term will be disappointed. In view of this, this stock may be a "low price - blue light special" for us long-termers... but only as long as competition remains at bay for the vertical market that Araldica is pursuing. And that's the tough part. Seeing the competition go from nothing to something, and Araldica, in all its fanfare, go from possibly something to nothing. Matthew, Please see if you can get permission from someone to update the status of the latest info on AWLT on this thread, because anything would be better than nothing. Thanks in advance, Brian (lurking in the basement --- waiting for all the flack)
