Thanks. It's certainly a flaw in capitalism, isn't it? A founder wants the public's money, but doesn't want them to exercise ownership.

There are lots of private companies. Going public is not the only way to get liquidity. So I would say, as John Q. Investor, "If you get my money, I get to vote to fire you."

To be perfectly honest, by saying "curveball" I wasn't complimenting your reference to them, I was saying it was unexpected and confusing (as in hard to comprehend how or why you arrived at it).

But I mostly agree with your comments here.
