--I'm not trying to "sell" you anything, but I just want to tell you that if you heard the voice--the lack of volume, the calmness, etc., then you would be even MORE certain who was right about this, and who was wrong! I know you're not selling anything, dija. I suspected the editorial comments accompanying the "verbatim" transcripts were just personal perception. I could see nothing in the transcript to indicate the "rudeness" and the "insinuation" that was being claimed. And I'm 100% sure you are objective in your assessment and 100% sure you're right. I'm really glad you heard the call and I certainly believe you. It's just that I don't need the tape to prove to myself who's telling the truth. --I'm already certain who's right and who's wrong. I couldn't be any more certain. :o) I wonder why they don't understand that claiming something that isn't there just makes one look silly.

dijaexyahoo: "Even Elan Quatro--certainly no fan of brinker--seems to think they are being ridiculous in their analyses of this call!" Dija, Thank you. And for the record, I should state that I have heard Bob shout down callers, belittle them (even after the call - which I find particularly offensive) and cut off people early. But I didn't detect this or any rudeness on "Mary's call." If anything, Bob was very patient and probably exceeded the time normally spent on a call in trying to draw out as many facts as he could. Did Bob answer her specific question? No. However, in this case he should not have answered her specific question for reasons I outlined previously. Did he give her valuable advice? Yes. If Mary and her husband heed the advice he gave her, they are certain to benefit.
