You wrote, in part:
"Would we rather that SKS said something like "I think the Seagate deal could be done by xxx date, but any number of things could interfere until then to delay it-and in fact, the TCG adoption is still so early that all of this could easily be derailed."
Would that serve our interests as investors of Wave?"
Wave investor interests are served when SKS tells the truth. What you describe sounds very truthful, if, in fact, these are the kinds of circumstances surrounding Wave's deals.
One could argue that SKS's comments, and many of Wave's PRs in general, are designed to prop up the share price. The lightning fast execution of stock options by him and Feeney following the now-famous IBM debacle was very illuminating to me.
I believe all Wave investors would be well-served to give awk his due on this one.
