Please do provr me wrong! I closed with the "you don't owe us anything" because I mean it, not to hedge. Even if it goes wrong, I don't think Mario is a bad guy, neither are you!
It has just become impossible to believe this kind of thing unless IMO the post is even more transparent than this. That was my point, if you really do mean the best and want to show that to the world, then even this (while much more transparent than anything with investor involvement) I don't think reaches the bar. So that's something I think that could've been done to demonstrate that this was a good call.
If you can demonstrate a few years from now that my disappointment was unwarranted, then everyone's a winner :)
