so, as a shareholder, what are you asking for? for him to build the company slowly and show less confidence?

I understand the scene you are setting up, but I don't understand what results and response you are looking for.

PhredGarvin appears to have had dealings with him, you can PM him and get his feelings. He'll probably provide you with a phone number if you ask him. that certain "someone" you are looking for to do DD with past biz associates could you be you.

Chris Zwicke left this past summer. Good guy, other opportunities. inner circle. no hand-writing on the wall, but yes, now that you mention it, if something like that happens in the near future you could call that black eye number three.,

but yes, we see two black eyes now. as a shareholder you can actively court a third one or you can ask for better. so, what's better from your viewpoint?
