Ditto also....Chris is under a lot of pressure and I believe he has gotten way better through the years.
I can only imagine the stress he is under and I actually appreciate when he puts me in my place for a not so smart question or when I try to dig a little too deep.
As far as his actions at a shareholder meeting....I'm sure he is instructed by the officers to do things at certain times so the officers don't "seem" rude...ie..their body errr word guard.
