One of the strangest elements, Sorgatz said, was how Kamp ended the presentation: "He flashed his email address on the screens, took no questions, and then zipped out the building."

2) Cash issues,

3) Shakeup.

Yep. Just about everything goes to hell once there are shareholders involved. Google is a pretty good example of that. Funny how "Do no evil" gut shoved under the carpet as soon as they went public.
