no scottoo...not at all...but i guarantee you this...the term nitpicking will be well defined before the sun comes up on the hatteras sands tomorrow morning...
so...allow a few comments please...i like what it says...i like the fact that he said it...there has been a behind the scenes effort to ask john to communicate with the shareholders a little more frequently...i see this communique as a direct result of these efforts, and as an acknowledgement on his part of our request...and i'd like to take this opportunity to thank him for it...
however, considering the mentality of the masses who will read it and scrutenize it to the enth degree, let me add this....this is not a press release...it is not on the wires...this is an update, directly from the c.e.o., and in his name...it is the same as one of these posts, only coming from him, by his chosen method...this will be satisfying to many, scorned by a few...the naysayers will have a field day with it...they are sharpening their teeth as i write this reply...it is what they live for...they will not be satisfied with anything...this update was not written for them...it was written for the rest of us...but, i promise you, they will attempt to cover it up with their now familiar garbage...
there are specifics addressed in it...there are generalities in it...there are some things that are not addressed at all...i am willing to assume that he has his reasons, and that these things will be addressed in due time, as he sees fit...there is one thing in particular that will cause a heated argument...it is ripe for conjecture and open to interpretation...what i am addressing here will become painfully apparant very soon...there will be no question as to what the subject matter of this paragraph is...
but, there will be official releases to back it up when he is ready, and for now this is pretty good...
and etcetera...
