Unmanned???
SF - L Kelly left 5/06 - 14 months ago and the mgmt page still looks like this. Amazing how you can defend this company. The ultimate apologist. I guess there is nothing the company can do or not do in your eyes as an issue. A company website IS the face of a company - in this day and age it is the first place investors/customers go to check out a company. Zero excuse IMHO.
As I have said many times this is purely dead money - no volume - no interest - just a handful of hopes and dreams.
