It may seem a little different to have the CEO participate on an investment thread like this, and I do understand your viewpoint. However, I believe Eddie views many of the shareholders here as part of the SMKY family, and a reassuring word now and then is comforting to those of us that have been waiting patiently for this company to develop and succeed.
Quite honestly, I don't know how he does it - that is, working around the clock to create a successful business, while at the same time, always taking a moment to communicate with his shareholders. This is one hard-working CEO, that's for sure!
