So Frederick, I'm sure that if Steve was reading this ... or one of his people did ... they would be trying to determine exactly what would come out of such a call.
I'm sure that we all understand that you would like to talk to Steve, and probably bend his ear for quite a while ... but what *would* you say?
If I were Steve, and had a limited amount of time to spend talking with people, I would probably want a good written plan ... a document ... a business plan ... some thing that would outline, with supporting evidence, a strategy.
I noticed that when Paul posted, he put together a very organized letter with a range of suggestions ... do you have something like this you can post here? I'm thinking that if you were to post here - openly, to the community, taking risks - that Steve and his people might recognize that value that you have to contribute. And here I don't refer to the posts that you have been making with the general vision ... but instead, I'm sure they are looking for detailed step-by-step direction ...
I have a feeling that one reason that they are hesitant to call is that "general statements" don't do them much good ... specific, direct, step-by-step plans are what would provide them value ... IMHO.
