Exactly! If his cancer returned, and it was affecting his work, he has a responsibilty to report it to the Board, who has a responsibility to take action.
His cancer didn't return, so he didn't have to report to the Board, who didn''t have to take any action. Exactly as it should be, and exactly what has transpired.
Jobs health is an issue if he is too sick to do his job effectively, and he should notify the Board and the shareholders if he is not healthy, and is unable to do his job.
But you want him to have to reassure you on a daily basis that he is healthy? If not daily, how often? I'm just asking, because you think you have a right to be told publicly not just if Steve Jobs is sick, but also if he isn't, right? You want reassurances that he is healthy. So how often should he release a press statement about his health? Daily? Monthly? Kick off every Macworld with his medical chart?
mathewi I never said I wanted him to reassure anyone that he was healthy on a daily basis -- I said that if his cancer has returned, it's a matter of shareholder interest.
