So how did it go?

I could not make it but this will make some interesting allies. I am VERY pro-privacy but I also happen to have a bit of Apple stock (no, I know nothing about money matters, it was a put-my-money-where-my-mouth-was during there bad decades). That part is also ‘*beep* no will you sabotage their rep’! This is the time of year for board meetings so I am sure privacy will come up at a few of them.
