You are dead wrong. I have absolutely NOTHING personal against BHB the business or Brian himself. However it does make me angry when someone with as high of a profile as he has comes here to post a message about listening to this important podcast about this important meeting coming up, and then when you actually listen to the podcast he claims that he's not even going to be there due to the politics and back stabbing. It sure made it sound to me like HE'S the one playing politics with this issue.

Now, you show me ANY industry that DOESN'T have some political fighting or wars of words between competitors and I'll show you a monopoly. It's just part of doing business, ANY business. But when you have the threat of legislation that could have such far reaching effects across an entire industry, you darn well better box up those egos and show a united front or you will be stomped on by the people trying to pass these regulations. And having one of the leaders of that industry publicly stating that he's not going to show up for a strategy meeting because he doesn't like the politics involved, thats far FAR more damaging then any private E-mails could ever be.

And THATS why I said what I did, and I stand behind it 100%
