I get what you're saying but how can you say, after so much time (years since help came up), that it's not true? If there was an intent to acquire help why on earth would anyone put out a diatribe about strangers and trust and sharing assets and on and on? Just say something like "You all know the standards I've set, it's so hard to find someone with the skill and technique I require and has a track record of successful collaboration upon which I can base my trust. The search continues."The fact of the matter is that it's not true! Why would he confirm someone's thoughts about him? He looked for help and continues to look, but he does it slowly and carefully, since it is difficult to trust distant, unfamiliar people.
Why would he cheat ?!
I'm sure if he refuses to search for an assistant, he will say about it publicly.
Probably these claims come from people who offered him cooperation, but were rejected. This is my guess.
But we don't get that, we get something akin to the raging ravings of a - I'll stop short of calling L&P a madman, but the tone is really angry and defensive when it doesn't need to be. I get they may be very frustrated on this point but there's no need to be defensive if you're confident in what you're doing.
Maybe the first helper L&P should hire is public relations and communications? If they are really committed to the next 15+ years then why not get someone low-key to handle the tone of public communication? Maybe even do some promotion?
I dunno.
