Just a short note, had a call from a cell phone in NYC today. Did not state their name an immediately asked for a copy of the article that was posted.  Titled "Could Sharp Be Back in Trouble Again", and also asked for "Digital Fax", which the second one was a sham.

 

They were after the article, however, there was no article. I explained that it was a forum thread and if he wanted to read it, then he would have to register for the forums.  That person did not register because I would then find out who they were.  Personally, I'm thinking someone at Sharp or affiliated with Sharp was pissed that the title of the weekly email was "Could Sharp Be Back in Trouble". Hey, I could be wrong, but that's my gut feeling which I'm entitled to in the USA!

 

Just my two cents of someone wasting my time and theirs.

Art,

 

    You know that something similar happened to me when I posted a similar question. Someone high up in Sharp USA contacted my boss, even though my blog is a personal blog, and complained about me questioning where Sharp was headed. As a courtesy to my Boss I pulled the article but I ended up blogging about the incident which still spoke to the same issue.

They just can't stand the bad press. I still think they are headed towards going away. I mean how long can you continue to sell machines at such low margins and remain in business. I think eventually all these branches will be sold for pennies on the dollar at some point. at some point someone may realize they need to stop subsidizing the direct losses with the dealer channels profits.

 

i remember sitting in the Ricoh dealer meeting a year ago and Corridi or one other Ricoh exec said "believe it or not our direct ops are very profitable." I thought they were going to be laughed off stage in the presentation.
