Yes Bayou...among all Peter's strengths, refraining from holding thoughts in sometimes when someone strikes a personal note is not yet one of them. Name calling like "Baby-Bucks" and referring to one expressing "stupidity", or that they maybe can't afford to travel outside the "bus line" when a simple statment is made is not becoming. And if the questions from shareholders seem tough...wait until the same uncertainty is created amongst analysts with price targets (reputations) on the larger company once it hits a bigger board. Their questions about any significant delays to earnings will be much more pointed and impactful on share price direction if not managed appropriately.

For what it is worth, I do not consider this a failure. I don't disagree with any of the directions the company has gone, and feel that at the end of the day that each decision (or change thereof) will pay off immensely, and am willing to wait out the final result of the powder strategy etc. as I do feel that all involved are truly working in the best interests of long term company and shareholder success.
