You really thing Steve Jobs, a man who thinks nothing of parking in a handicap space an not having a license plate, wouldnt use an easy excuse for getting out of a town hall meeting that im sure he doesnt give a damn about?
And, by the way, I think it would be a shame if this mansion were to be torn down. It is historic architecture and Jobs has apparently left it unoccupied for over a decade, letting it fall into disrepair (thus bolstering his argument that saving it is not worthwhile).
Completely off topic, but I think the thing is horrid and should be torn down for the benefit of architecture students everywhere

"When I saw the Jackling house and what Jobs' neglect had done to it, it brought tears to my eyes... I would be very happy to join and support your organization. I, too, believe you have a very strong case to stop this demolition. I had feared that no one would have the guts and money to go up against Steve Jobs. Thank you so much."

As much as I would like to see Steve return to the helm at Apple, I think it's fairly obvious that everyone is not being told the whole story ... and rightly so, because it's Steve Job's business and no-one else's. Sure, you could argue that Shareholders have a right to know, but if the man is seriously ill then we should respect his privacy.
I don't think Steve is terminally ill, but I do hope he someday takes his place on stage to tell us there's "Just one more thing" a few times more yet.
