GrooeMaster: Re: I read it and saw a complete different viewpoint.

I understand that, and I respect your opinion. Excel chose to take it as a personal attack, and that is his problem. I was trying to point out in general terms that it seems to be a common reaction that people get all giddy after someone posts a conversation with a company official, when there really has been nothing new added. I understand that feeling - I fell into the same trap. Some time ago, I spoke to Brad about some of my grave concerns. I admit that I felt very relieved and re-energized after speaking to him. I can't really say why, though. I went back and looked at my notes on the conversation, and he did not tell me anything I did not already know. Then, a few days later, they lied (intentional or not - it was an untruth) about financing in the 10-Q.

For centuries, people have been led down the garden path by charming people.

I am curious if I am right that you are an analytical?

Some people would argue that you got the first part right :) Seriously, I have a scientific background, if that is what you are asking.

It was news to me when he answered he is working on several big financing packages.

This company has been claiming that a big financing package is just around the corner for years. Ketch made reference to several funding options in his president's letter.

Another thing I found interesting (I was wrong in my prior speculation) was that they do not plan on relying on the movie for financing.

I am not sure what you mean by this, but there was always the plan to seek other financing outside of the movie.

I found new and interesting were that they have a "plan" beyond EMBARQ.

I think that it was always an assumption that there was some kind of business plan. Did he reveal any details of that plan? No.
