It's interesting that BG started out looking like he was going to use the opportunity to advance communication with shareholders by directly answering some questions in a forthcoming, collegial manner. Unfortunately, he instead managed to hold forth at some length, while managing to not really answer much of anything- instead, speaking around some questions, diverting others, outright refusing to answer some, and generally implying criticism of the questioner in a high handed manner for having the temerity even to have asked such questions. Too bad. Hopefully he treats interested potential partners better- although the track record there doesn't give much cause for optimism either. We can only hope that we will succeed in securing a deal for funding despite this approach.
