finishsuper... I too was disappointed that Steve didn't feel the need to make an appearance on this  board prior to going to LieHub.  Although I disagreed with his decision to do such, I respected his decision to confront the toughest audience out there.  Also, although I disagreed with his preference on which board to address first, he did eventually show up here and answer any question put to him.

Regardless of his decision of which board to visit first... its commendable that he visited ANY board.  How many CEO's hide from the tough questions.  You may not agree with his answers... but at least he's there to answer them.  I'm not so sure he took anybody for granted, but he did have a decision to make as to which board to address "first".  He made his decision, and like it or not, he acted on it.

I'm not sure if you followed the back and forth on the other board, but he stayed there for hours and hours to answer any reasonable questions put to him.  Like his first-choice decision or not... gotta give him some credit for that.
