Has the senior management of Stack's put a gag order on employees preventing them from participating

LongacreLongacre Posts: 16,717 ✭✭✭
One of the best things about these boards is the vast knowledge that board members have. As you know, I ask a bunch of questions, and most of them fall into the category where 95% of the general population here can answer. Of the remaining 5% of my questions, I tend to look for a response from board members RWB, Conder101, Mr Eureka, or Julian, to name a few. For questions that are too hard for even that illustrious group, I figure that board member Pistareen will come out of the shadows and shower us with his incredible numismatic knowledge.

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, no one from the old ANR has been participating here since the announcment of the merger. Does anyone know whether senior management at Stack's has a corporate rule that no employee is allowed to participate on these boards? I sort of miss Photog and OldUncleUhUh, too. Or is it possible that Stack's does not have internet access at the NY office and it is impossible for the employees to participate? Does anyone know?

    Apparently, since the prinicpals of "old" Stack's believe that the PC and internet are a passing fad, they have prohibited use of these tools by their employees on their free time. I would have thought that your "inside reporter" would have uncovered this. image

    I don't think Firefox has been ported to the UNIVAC platform yet, so maybe the Stack's folks can't get there yet... image

    seems like they would let them stay on the boards to stay abreast of the "hype" of the hobby to get better foothold into the collectors/dealer minds.

    I'm sure we've seen some of them post-merger.

    Very good point. I just got off the horn with Stack's, and they informed me that there is no gag order. They have been so busy with the Norweb sale and with other matters, that their ability to participate here has been limited. I spoke to a really nice lady, whose picture appears below:

    I received a PM from one of the Stacks-NH crew a few days ago, so they are at least reading the boards. I suppose it's possible they are busy with upcoming auctions and major show.

    Longacre - Just because you have the luxury of reading and posting all day, don't assume all employers give that fringe benefit to their staff image

    I was in Stack's today...They didnt look too busy to me, unless they have everyone hiding in a board room or something image

    I was the only person in there at 12PM....well, aside from a few security personnel image

    What? Can't a guy go on vacation?

    I'm back now, though I'll be attending the Norweb auction and the Baltimore show all next week.

    Tonight, more importantly, I'm going to see the Borat movie. Even coin geeks have to get out of the house once in awhile.

    I'd bet she doesn't even make $5,000 per year so why does a call to New York cost $3 per minute?
