In all fairness, the expectation for EV or anyone inside of ARTs to directly contact any of us is a little aggressive. My inquiry into how our dividends would be delivered was addressed as “To Whom It May Concern”. I didn’t even make the connection that it was going directly to the CEO of ARTs (even though the email address was to EVasker). If I had known that, I wouldn’t have even bothered. I have not emailed him since then.
Does anyone think that any of us would get a response from Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Mel Karmazin (Sirius), etc? The fact that ARTS management is responding to folks is more shocking to me, rather than them not responding.
Venting is therapeutic, but I think we are on life support for the foreseeable future (for all the various reasons that have been addressed on this board) until we start seeing some execution by ARTs management.
