I don't mind you slamming me, but your focus on the past is misplaced.  JB is out of the picture - gone, not to return, and not relevant to the present. 

Your persistent attempts to defend the company's failures these past few years fall on increasing numbers of deaf ears.  That's unlikely to change, in my opinion.

If you disagree, please explain why because that IS relevant.  I appreciate any help you can provide in this regard, and I look forward to it.  Thanks.
