Tele,

Just checked out the banro website...very nice indeed! easy to navigate, substantive, just the right kind of info a perspective investors and shareholders would look for...and there is a contact e-mail address with a template for you to fill in your comments or request of info. We have other excellent websites in Canada as well, one of which is, surprise surprise, CHM.

It would be good to be able to pass all these suggestions to our FNC, but there is no contact e-mail in FNC website (anti-social? or just don't care about communications with shareholders, the part-owners of the company).

For background information, I have been quite successful with other companies on the same topic. Quite a few CEOs came back with their replies thanking for the suggestions and giving some idea about their plan to upgrade the websites.

I don't know if website upgrade is within the scope of work for Bay Street Connect. If not, or if they don't have expertise to do this, then FNC should spend a less than $10k (chump change compared to some $18+M in the bank) to get someone else to do the job. Even a web savvy high school kid with some guidance and examples provided by other companies can do a good job, and for much less. As Rago said, and rightly so, penny saving = pound foolish. Also, our company executives ought to know this saying: "it takes $ money to make $$$$$ money".
