Right you are Quinn, and anyhow, he misunderstood

Anyhow, he cut into them pretty harshly over the original brand being pushed to the back burner after they had stated early in the year they were planning to launch in just a matter of weeks. I'm sure there's good reason for it. They want it now just as bad or more then we do.
I've been saying that for a long time now as I've pointed out how they've taken common shares in lieu of a sizable portion of their salaries. jcr53 wants to smear management, but gets all butt hurt when he gets his own medicine shot back at him. Tough shit.
As I see it, they are thinking on their feet and having to make quick adjustments to the plan as it pertains to each brand. I know they're working hard to get it all done, so I get pissed off when I see people talk smack about them when the only "facts" they are basing their bitching on is stuff like the sharing by John Blackington of some over zealous anticipated launch dates.
As far as I'm concerned, or at least as far as we know anyhow, the only mistake was sharing anticipated launch dates that were too specific. Just to avoid this kind of slander, they maybe should've been far more vague, but I'm not going to waste my time crying about it.
They truly believed it was possible to get it all together in that time frame, but unexpected delays come up and small companies usually have to focus on a limited number of issues at a time when that happens. If all would've gone very smoothly as anticipated, they probably could've come much closer to those original estimates.
I also never said nobody at corporate never made a mistake that caused a delay, that they "walk on water", HOWEVER, I have no knowledge to back an accusation like that, and there's no way in hell that I'm going to blat and cry and smear them when I don't know for a fact that they did anything wrong.
For some, when they want it yesterday and it didn't materialize, they handle it gracefully with a level head, looking at all of the facts before launching a smear campaign and pointing fingers at anyone they believe is to blame for them not getting what they want. For others, they don't have a graceful bone in their body and don't know common respect either. Their are much more colorful names for people like that.
I've seen a bunch of "investors" come and go who were all business running geniuses. Don't believe it, just ask them, they'll tell you. They would've done this and they would've done that, but I highly doubt that their credentials would've gotten them on board faster than the team that's in there now.
I say to those who believe it's due to incompetence on the part of the current management team, by all means, go ahead and smear them and say they have no products and no sales just because the original brand hasn't re-launched yet and there are cobwebs next to the last 12 pack and that must be why the pps is not going up yet. It won't help your pps to go up, but maybe if you scream loud enough the pps will go down instead. Go ahead, give it a try. LMAO
