We couldn't have paid the vice president to give us this much publicity. Because he is a high-visibility figure, it actually elevates the importance and awareness of the hunter education effort that has a long-standing history.

Entrepreneurs stand to make just as much money in a near-term US$30 million acquisition as they might in a much larger acquisition after three-plus years and substantial VC dilution.

They do see us as a threat and actively try to take action and publicity to try and negate our positive effect on the market.

If we have one bad food incident, it would take us a decade to overcome the bad publicity.

All physical evils are so many beacon lights to warn us from vice!
