I was there too....
Here`s my slant - I don`t think Leckrone is very used to dealing with shareholders, and not in the masse we had there then...quite a calvary.
I`d suspect he maybe had preconceived notions of us as rabid, eager and hanging off every word that was going to be said...(well, of course!)
I viewed some of his responses as defensively vague (well, again, of course!) and cautious in delivery - Kind of like the PRs that are getting issued. lol...
Not an apologist for the guy, but that was my read.
