speaker: Ralph S. Baric

I think so, yes. I think so, yeah. I think we went around and introduced everybody in the room. My problem is I couldn't find the link that told me exactly how I got on that call, and I think it may have been a personal, like a phone call, you need to be on this call, here's the link, or something like that. But I can't find a record of it, and I've looked incredibly hard.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Okay. Let's see. William had a followup question, so I'll let you do that one.

Back to the February 1st call, you said that you did not recall and could not figure out how you got added to that call. Was there any suggestion or implication or direction to you not to speak up on that call?

So again, I'm kind of surprised that they didn't know I was there.

Did you introduce yourself?

Is there any chance that someone dialed DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com you in, patched you in?
2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open

No. No.
2026-04-10 09:00 William Henderson open

So there was no suggestion that you should remain silent or not?
2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open

No. Again, I was silent because I had sort of felt that maybe I caused the whole meeting to occur because I had talked about it earlier. And I wanted to hear what independent people thought. Otherwise, I could drive the whole direction of the meeting, and that was not right. At least that was my -- if it's flawed thinking, then I apologize. But I don't think it was flawed thinking.
