Dave: I will grant you my inexperience in posing questions to company management at a conference call. February was my first opportunity at such a thing. However, the term "lackey" is clearly derogatory to the object (namely me and others) whether your intent was to direct it towards management's perspective of us CC participants or not. BTW, I didn't have to look it up either but many people misuse and abuse the language so I felt clarification of the term would be useful. As far as asking "hardball" questions, that is a very subjective judgement, is it not? If somebody, such as Greg Wilson, has information to hide, he is going to be evasive regardless of how many times or how many different ways a question is posed. Could I have posed more pointed, better phrased questions last February? Undoubtedly, but then that is hindsight taken from the comfortable and luxurious perspective of having had PLENTY of time to think about what could have been said differently. It was my judgement at that time (in the middle of February's CC) that there was little else to be gained by restating questions that had already been asked. Did I think the responses provided by AB&G were complete and adequate? Absolutely not, but then that is an informative answer also, isn't it? Perhaps I am not clever enough to think up novel questions on fly but I saw no point in beating dead horses.
