I did have a long conversation with not only Phil Sim but several senior IT industry executives as well as with as three senior executives from PR Companies who have major IT clients and have been involved in the Kickstart event that was held this week and several in the past.
Several of these executives either contacted me directly, emailed me or I contacted them. I am not going to publish what was said during our conversations, however I did communicated to Phil Sim the sentiment of what these observers told me.
We also played for Phil Sim a tape recording of one of several interviews that we have that reflected the views of his clients to Kickstart. They were not pretty and very different from the ranting raving views of people like Dan Warne the online editor of Australian Personal Computer who was so desperate to stand up for Kickstart that he personally emailed to me a copy of Phil Sims story.
