Snackman: Thank you for answering my question about your time frame for good things happening with Wave.

I certainly can wait for Q3 and I will wait as you will.

Left unanswered though, was my question about what, if anything, do you do if the Q3 report includes nothing good and some bad things? In the past, the supporters simply hit the 're-set' button and gave it more time.

I don't think I made up anything about what Solms said. He named Q3 and Q4 as when we would begin to see the turnaround. He did not say in 3-5 quarters, as you think--that's my memory.

But, say my memory is correct and good things do not happen, do you mind stating what, if anything, you would do?

If the CEO says something publicly, it seems only fair comment to ask for an explanation of why his time frame was off, instead of just granting more time, unasked.

I will do some research and see if I can't locate exactly what was said about the time frame. If my memory is inaccurate, I owe you an apology and you will get one. I'm not "making things up" as you suggest, presumably to torpedo Wave. Like you, I want Wave to succeed, why would I try do damage to Wave, especially by making things up that are so easily and quickly proven not true?

I guess my question is, if the old methods not only did not work, but led to disaster, why not try a different tack? I can't see giving a CEO unlimited time and opportunities. If he sets a date or a time frame, shouldn't he be held accountable?

In the past, the supporters never even asked for an explanation for unmet time frames and deadlines. We all know where that led.

If the CEO says a Bell deal will be done by August, and more than a month and a half go by and there's no deal and no explanation for the delay--I don't think it is so horrible to ask him what happened. It's called accountability and that is not a bad word, IMO.
