I was sitting with John, I had a copy of his questions in my hand and so did Robert Speak. There were three reasons, IN MY OPINION, that RP did not answer all of Johns questions.

First, the meeting ran on quite a long time with many questions from other shareholders, including me. It became somewhat boring and tedious. RP had John`s questions and waited to answer them at the end of the meeting rather than cut off the participations from others.

Second: Regarding the length of the meeting John simply had too many questions to ALL BE ANSWERED, people were getting antsy....Also some of the questions were ``in your face`` kind of queries. You could tell from Robert`s reaction, when he silently read a particular question, whether HE FELT which question was designed to ``stick it to Edig`` and he was NOT going to answer those kinds of questions.

Third: During the meeting John asked a few questions to RP that were decidedly ``demanding`` to say the least. Not that I disagree with John`s tone, he was trying to get info from RP that was not ``palp`` and he was quite ``forceful`` but he did raise the ``edge`` on RP`s responses and the hackles on his neck. You could hear the ``edge`` in RP`s voice after that. I felt, IMO, he was becoming angry at John`s hammering him and was therefore ``turned off`` to answering anything John asked and dismissed quite a few questions on the list because of that.

I applaud John for his attempts but RP was not going to be ``cowed``.
