When we were about to vote on TA1, Richard Anderson said there was no more money on the table and any later agreement would be no better than the standing offer.
It doesn't matter if he was lying or mistaken... either way, he was way off by anyone's metric. I don't see much benefit in listening to public proclamations from our CEO. Offers in writing are as close as we can get to trustworthy, and with this team even that seems a lofty goal.
