Thomas ranted, I responded and then Thomas responded to my response.

I love the feedback - Thomas got more specific and less vitriolic.  It's gonna take a while for me to digest his latest post.  I do hope to respond in the next day or two (or three, four) but it may involve a good bit of 'Tell me you can't tell me...' as Thomas requests.

Initial feedback: There is an extremely fine line when it comes to transparency. I believe if Thomas were in our shoes he would absolutely, positively agree with how transparent we are (or aren't) right now.

Thanks for being so passionate, bold and honest Thomas - we do listen, pay attention, and action upon your feedback and that of others.
