Hmm, talking about biting the hand that feeds you.  Seriously folks!!

It seems the sense of entitlement here is somewhat overestimated. It's quite unprecedented that someone from the company would be willing to speak to us in person on what amounts to be a low level investor forum, IMO the noise isn't worth the effort and if I were TM I wouldn't bother checking in anytime soon.  For those that have a smidgeon of understand the technology and potential of this company, it may be time to consider other avenues of discourse.

Full disclosure, I may hold some resentment to some participants here as at one time I held a higher "rank" and was unceremoniously demoted to my current standing by an apparent cabal of conspirators. Of course, I lose little sleep over it, but slightly annoyed nonetheless as I feel my contributions are worthwhile at times, and of course there's my incredible ego and the understanding that I am right virtually 99.99% of the time. LOL

My advice (FWIW), old school is the the way to go.  If you want to have a meaningful and productive conversation with someone, make it in person; not an anonymous airing of grievances for all to see so everyone can pile their sh** on as well.  Public statement is needed once and once only; point made and acknowledged, time to move on.  It's unfortunate if that's not good enough anymore.  Is it all about riling up the masses, fodder for social media and conspiracy theories? Seems there's little chance of stopping the cancer, whoa is me......OK, OK, maybe a bit too much but hopefully you get my point!
