If we ignore the politic message for a moment and just look
at the "story" per se, I think it's funny and pretty well
written (I did read this piece once before though, at
amigaworld, so it's the second time for me).
I think you could have stopped GP:s monomologue about
BM:s old mum already at "... she calls you Kevin". That
was actually very witty - and it should have stopped there.
The "farting cat" business went on for too long and felt
unnessecary, perhaps it should have been placed
elsewhere or removed completely. Otherwise I think it's a
cute little piece of sattire, no matter how much of its
sentiment you agree with.
As for the politics:
Many of the points are probably a reflection of what many
feel about how the situation has develeloped around AInc.
The reason not much is cooking in the form of Executive
updates is simply because not much is there to talk about
(whether this state is a sign of "work being done behind the
scenes" or of the company being dead is where opinions go
apart). Personally I think it's better that they don't
announce stuff they cannot control. The damage is done
already with announcements in the past that fell through for
one reason or the other, reducing community confidence in
the company.
To their defence, they do have a bi-weekly Q&A session
with fleecy on a community website, open to all that's
interested. It's not much, granted, but it's at least not a
"wall of silence". Many seem to bash these Q&A:s in one
breath and curse AInc:s silence with the other. Weird (And
don't give me any nonsense such that the questions are
rigged. Then you haven't read that Q&A for some time.)
