It is funny Spoke, you read Excel's message and saw one thing. I read it and saw a complete different viewpoint. That is because we are different personality types first off. I am sure Spoke you are more analytical and I am more expressive. (The formula I am using here is make a plus sign on the north post put task, on the south post put people, on the west post put less aggressive, and on the right post put more aggressive. By asking to simple questions about a person is he more aggressive or less, and is he more people or more task you can get the basics of their personality type. The upper left quadrant is analytical, the lower left quadrant is amiable, the upper right quadrant is driver, and the lower right quadrant is expressive.) I am curious if I am right that you are an analytical? The bottom line is we saw it different and above is probably why.
This is how I saw it. The very first thing that Excel said was:
Before we get started with Q & A let me say this about Brad.
Many years ago I use to play cards sometimes for 10 hours straight for over two years. During that time I learned a lot about body language, voice hesitation, along with other basic human nature tell signs.
My conclusion on Brad is he is a straight shooter with no hype!
He answered all questions and when he couldn't answer he gave valid reasons why imo.
I found that very important. As life in my opinion is a game and we are all game players Excel points out that he is a game player as well and knows how to read people. Not only that he backs it up with letting us know that at one point in his life it is basically all he did which was where it got the most credibility in my book. What it said to me was that when he was asking or listening to these questions he was reading every single sign or move Brad was making. He was looking for lie signals and there are many. He concluded that there was no BSing going on!
You mentioned nothing-new Spoke. It was news to me when he answered he is working on several big financing packages. I mean "WOW" I was happy to hear that! A couple other things that I found new and interesting were that they have a "plan" beyond EMBARQ. . I mean "WOW" I was happy to hear that as well! Another thing I found interesting (I was wrong in my prior speculation) was that they do not plan on relying on the movie for financing. They must think the best way to get the most money is to keep a vested interest. (I am just speculating again as I am totally aware I know nothing about selling movies) Were these not all new things that we had not heard before?
Excel I do not see why you feel the need to explain a simple informative post that you made. Do not let all the Doubting Thomases get you down. I would speculate that the majority of the people reading the hub do not post and very much enjoyed your insights. I personally felt that it was better than any PR as I was getting first hand knowledge from someone I trust.
