i.r. firms lie all the time. what real d.d. is, is investigating and trying to verify what the i.r. firm has told you. remember, i.r. firms are payed to portray the company in the best possible light. they won't tell you the bad stuff.
What would be good for me is not just the content of an e-mail sent by the ir to one particular poster but rather a pr that is written in coherant English and has info that can be verified as to it's correctness! I haven't built up a lot of trust that the ir is not just blowing smoke up everyone's you know what!!
