Al - sometimes we may have to consider how we ourselves address another person. He was extremely cordial and friendly with me. I very much enjoyed talking with him. He handled himself very well within the restrictions that any CEO is placed in talking with a private investor.
If one goes in with just a critical, negative spirit, I imagine he might be curt and abrupt. He loves the technology, and he also loves his son, and wants to see Adam succeed. He also is very realistic. I found a friend.
I personally think we have further downside short term. Just my opinion. If I didn't care for and respect a man I would leave. You seem to have so much difficulty with a response you got a couple of years ago, you might want to try again. I learned many years ago that the first step in a relationship is respect. Mutual respect is what I give, and what I believe Brian offers. Hope that helps. Dave
