Your spy skills are keen.
Non-public companies do not have the same level of concern about giving out information. Some are total blabber mouths and others just send canned responses. My company falls into the latter because if you let someone engage a consumer, you are opening Pandora`s Box for the wackco crowd. You and I don`t have enough fingers and toes to count the number of people who email us every day to find out if we made their brand X, model S product (OEM biz) --- they get canned response #6, too. :)>
