No, but if you don't ask, you can't complain about the FUD
they're
generating with a story like this, can you ????
I've already sent follow up requests on 3 or 4 of these
kinds of stories
and got nothing. But I'm not giving up. All it takes is 5
minutes and an
E-Mail account.

If you get no answer, perhaps it would be good to have a
plan B, wherein
you provide the LACK of results to some analyst group so
they can report
on the apparent failure of the initiative. It would be
very interesting
to get a bit more light on these things so that publicly
held companies
have to disclose results.
I recently tried twice to get information about a
government agency's privacy provisions and was ignored. On
my third try, I suggested that local newspapers might be
able to get the information for me, but would also likely
be interested in why it's so hard to get. I got an answer
within a week.
With publicly held companies, you might suggest there
would be interest in the follow-up both from their
shareholders and from the news organs which printed the
original press releases.
