 ok.  let me be more specific.  you did not keep us informed of
numbers within a reasonable time-frame.  delays of several weeks
before responding with a status update is, i believe, reasonable to
summarise as "not keeping us informed of numbers".

 if you had advised us immediately that you only had 200 to 250 units
after one month when we requested after one month that you inform us
of numbers, we would have had time to do something.

 but you did not respond to my associate's request.

 he had to ask several times. each time you did not respond.

 eventually after several months we received a response.  by then it
was too late.

 which my associate kept me appraised of, as you may not be aware that
i speak with him nearly every day.  aaron: if you genuinely had kept
my associate informed, providing him the status updates he requested
when he requested them, we would not be having this conversation.  we
would have been able to do something.
