Obviously, we must work harder in order to get people more 

informed when they do their criticism. He extrapolates 

wrong conclusions, or at least not very accurate, from the
info he finds in the net.


One of our weakness is that we work in the open, so any 

opinion or discussion will reach the press and they take their 

own interpretation. 

It is difficult for the marketing team to lead the message, because
the criticism is sometimes made when the debate for the real plans
or decisions is taking place.

But, yes. The only thing we can do is better communicating what
we are doing, because I think is good :-)
