On one level I agree with you curt but I also think that we shouldn't be so jaded. The onus is on our Agoracom community to come up with questions for Larry that are leading but do not necessarily reveal material information- that is our quest. It's like attending a Q and A session at a luncheon or AGM. The questions, if asked respectfully, generally get respectful answers. After the AGM, when responding to a comment that investors were very interested in PGEs Wes commented (with an almost boyish grin) that we may in fact expect some "PGE surprises". That information, although not material in nature, turned out to be very accurate. The trick is finding the right questions to ask and I am confident that Larry will take all requests for questions very seriously.
Best,
Scott
