I am usually skeptical about indirect one-sided interpretations from poeple about their conversations with any company CEO. whether good or bad. But it is clear that PV talks to people...
I see nothing bad about the company in what you post...Except it is unfortunate that some folks have so much malice in them that the CEO claims to be questioned...That is a shame. The good news is that he is not in handcuffs...As for 2 I agree with PV and the rest are all as mentioned before.
I think after the AFs, if they really come, PV should really limit access to himself to Blogging details of PRs as they are released...
