I agree with you Blue, but a lot of it is stated in the shareholder letters ( there are more than one a year). He did not address in those the AS increase, but has in tweets (as I recall) and the debt payoff.
some of what you are asking about was in an interview and others were responses to questions some of us asked him. I dont think a press release for every conversation is necessary. Plus much of what I said about merger is my own speculation based on the evidence and not from anything he said. He doesnt want us to know what hes doing until after its done. Its what companues do
