RE:Okay, so that can't be it...I'll bet that is it.
They hired a PR company to handle this kind of thing some months ago. I've noticed a bit more in the way of news releases since ... and the releases were often about small potato stuff ... remember the release about the new hires? I'm thinking, what, a new VP or comptroller? No, some lab techs.
The lack of news has been frustrating. This PR firm is making headlines out of nothing to fill the void.
