"I think the alternative is for him to not post anything at all.  Would you rather that?" No, I would not rather that. I would rather him answer questions up-front and honestly. If he's going to come onto this board to address shareholders, then why does he address some questions, but resort to name-calling to those people who ask questions he doesn't like? Do you see my point? My question is not a difficult one or out of line in any way.

"well, then if CEO responses to your public and private questions is the deciding factor for you (and others), so be it, invest accordingly" No, it's not my deciding factor.  Steve opened this can of worms by coming on this board to give these "updates". I don't know Steve personally, but he seems like the kind of guy that needs a little ego-stroking.  I think he prefers to come onto this board, drop some information, and sit back and enjoy the responses that sing his praises and say "Oh, Steve, you're the best CEO in the world."  Sorry, that's not the way I function. I ask questions...plain and simple. Unfortunately, asking questions seems to rub Steve the wrong way.

Are you suggesting we just take these updates and not ask questions?  The 1 question I'm asking is called doing DD...I'm not sure what you call it. If a CEO tells me half of a story, I'm going to ask about the other half. Come to think of it, maybe I should change my answer to your first question above.  Maybe Steve would be better not providing any updates at all on this forum because of the way he has chosen to respond to some but resort to name-calling for others who ask questions he doesn't like.
