On July 11, 2016, I responded to that email and reminded him of the questions. Till now pointed it out, none of those questions have been answered. And you say there is no unsubstantiated claim here?

You are, of course, entitled to your own opinion.

However, I have no intention whatsoever to shield the board from accountability.

Statement 2 does not contradict statement 1. It clarifies that statement 1 is true because an unspecified reference to “questions” is meaningless for the reasons stated.

I will note that subsequent to the posting to which I made that reply, Noah did, in fact, provide a list of questions.

Once I saw that, I responded with a collection of answers based on previous information provided by the board in the form of either various list postings, public statements, and/or contents of the AFS.

If you have different questions that you still feel were not adequately answered, please restate them in a reply here.

Owen
