I do not understand the point of saying "LP is not the first to run this company." This statement is not explained. Unexplained, I reasonably assume there is something "bad" lurking in the company's history that will be unearthed when I explore why LP is not the first to run this company. HOWEVER, there is no there there, and I do not understand why you would have said that.
Although you do not owe me an explanation if you don't wish to provide one, I would ask that you please do provide one in the event that you disagree with my belief that your statement that "LP is not the first to run this company" is meant to have negative connotations. I do not see how negativity could flow from the fact that "LP is not the first to run this company" when one considers that two (2) people have "run this company" in the last fifteen (15) years.
Your statement that "LP is not the first to run this company" suggests that here is a company that is being passed on from CEO to CEO, it sucks, nobody wants it. What other conclusion should I have reached from your statement? I do not pretend to be an expert in the history of this company but my read of the website shows that its "inception" was in 1998. Don't know who led it from 1998 to 2007, but I don't think anybody here believes that is material to any of the discussions that ever occur on this board. So fast forward to June 2007, as NWBO website says Dr. Boynton "served as Chief Executive Officer from June 2007 to June 2011."
Looking also at the website, which states that LP took over in 2007, it is apparent that LP took over from Dr. Boynton.
So forgive me, but I am left wondering why you would state that "LP is not the first to run this company" when there has been a grand total of one (1) other CEO over the last fifteen (15) years.
I am not saying you issued your statement in bad faith, and I freely admit that I may have taken it the wrong way. But I simply cannot understand how there is anything other than a superficial statement with nothing behind it, and as you can tell from the post, I don't know why one would have said that. So please let me know if you'd like. We are all more than one post, so please know I am only placing a focus on the post to which I reply, and do not suggest that it represents you as a poster.
Thanks, and hope you have a great evening!
