There were a lot of issues with that shareholder meeting, which have been lashed out time and time again on this board. The average shareholder has been getting the short end of the stick for years - myself included.
I worked closely with all of the board members to proctor the web-cast of that meeting. I saw first hand how the meeting was organized and conducted, as well as the information that was presented and the general lack of preparation. I re-designed the company website to provide feedback to management directly from shareholders in preparation for that meeting so that the concerns of shareholders could be addressed. I also positioned myself where I could relay the concerns of shareholders in real time to be addressed by the presenters, in a recorded session.
After seeing the conduct of all parties, Dave Williams included (who was present) - particularly after the meeting, I was discouraged.
I won't be drawn in by your anti-Dave-Williams rhetoric and I won't sit here and defend him either because he had a role to play as well.
