I don't know when you sent your messages, but if it was over the weekend, these guys have lives too.
He indicated that he'd sent them over the weekend and apparently by Tuesday he'd still not heard anything back.
I, incidentally, am in the same boat: I emailed a couple times over the weekend, and still haven't heard anything back by Tuesday. I sent Danni a PM yesterday and still haven't heard back from him, yet I see that he took the time to post a comment in this thread... so...?
Yes, but isn't this their job? This is a business. I don't know to what degree a board rep is considered an employee of the lab, but if it is such that they are being paid or compensated in some way, it's irrational to say "yes, but they have another job, so they can't be expected to reply to a person in a timely fashion" when that's the whole point of their job here. If the situation is such that they simply don't have the time to do that because of their other job, then Basicstero should find someone more available or pay these fellows enough (or make it worth their while enough) that they can treat it like an actual job and be more available to respond to time-sensitive issues.
That with it being a holiday, I'd imagine any messages from Thursday/Friday up to today have all been sitting there.
I wasn't aware that the American holiday of Labor Day was celebrated in Russia and the various other locations Basicstero is based?
Yeah, Dannie can be a butthead, but he's really just a big ol teddy bear. You've got to learn to take his humor.
I don't know how else to respond to this except to point out that if ignoring PMs and saying "duly noted" is some form of humor, it's not very good humor, and it's not behavior befitting a representative of a business through which large sums of money are on the line, and any basic business class will teach you that it's preferable to keep an existing loyal customer than to gain several potential new ones.
I'm probably a bit overly invested in this situation since I seem to be experiencing the exact same issue. Not to highjack the thread, but I was in communication with basicstero last week, didn't receive an adequate response, emailed them a couple more times over the weekend, still (as of Tuesday) haven't heard anything back from that email on Friday, sent Danni a PM yesterday and still haven't heard anything back... all over an extremely time-sensitive issue. If by this afternoon I continue to not hear anything back from either the email or Danni I will post an in-depth description of the issue I encountered.
