Having been involved with public corporations in my past, as both a senior level employee, and as a consultant, I well know that you just can’t contact someone like Eric and demand answers to those important questions that we would like to ask, especially those that might influence whether we buy more, hold or sell our shares. Now regardless of whether there are actual merger-type negotiations in-progress, or if AAPT is continuing its retail roll-out efforts on its own, to tell you or I sensitive details of what is happening, is not only potentially illegal for them and us (unless the whole public is informed, like in a PR), but it could seriously compromise the Company's efforts. I've worked on transactions that I was forbid from discussing any details, or even knowledge of the proposed trasaction, with even my family, and especially my Wife wasn't very happy whenever I had to give her the "Eric treatment".
