[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 3581751, member: 913"] [B]Minor OT Quibble Alert!!![/B] Oh, I definitely agree that I appreciate when someone tells me why they cannot divulge more information on a particular topic, and I'm by no means raking him over the coals on this one. But, I also think that, after you've told someone what you cannot say, you should then try to emphasize something positive that you can say. I think the example that really jumped out at me was this: ICV2 is asking for a characterization of the business size, and he effectively ends the answer with "Not gonna tell you." It would have been good to follow that up with something like "But we are happy with how the business has been progressing and are looking to continue to grow it." Sure, it's press-release vaguerise, but people say that stuff for a reason :) It also didn't help that the example I mentioned followed a one word answer to the first question, and the first thing he said to the next question was "We're hitting the limits of what I'm allowed to talk about publicly." It makes people wonder why they're reading the interview. Anyway, overall the interview was still pretty good and informative. [/QUOTE]
