With all due respect for Frank, I don't believe that I was "pissing
on the flag" by pointing out that the situation is worrisome.

Frank is NOT the pilot in charge. That role has so far been delegated
to Walnut Creek. Formal marketing is best done by full-time 
professionals, and press releases are routinely ignored unless they
come from an established vendor. The pilot has abandoned the wheel
and left the cockpit, and is now complaining that no passenger is
flying the plane from his or her seat.
