Ugh. This was precisely how I kindly requested you not answer my question.
I was hopeful that you would open up a little but perhaps you're not allowed to have an open conversation. Frankly, it's a shame because you've been glued to this board for years. Additionally, the analogy to global warming is totally invalid.
No one argues that Mr. Coates has technology, business sense, and/or a marketing strategy that has failed for years but let's be honest, that happens every day to countless ideas for countless companies. The point is you have someone who is tenacious and someone who believes that the ends will justify the means. In other words, he's an unwavering dogmatic inventor and those are very common characteristics among inventors. He ain't a crook. That's a silly notion. If you have enough passion to pursue a dream than you simply keep working at it, you keep refining your technology, and you keep making progress. It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. (Please note I got that from Rocky)
You along with the rest of the opposition look at it from this black and white, X's & O's perspective on share dilution, reverse split awareness yada yada yada. You systematically post on this board like failure is being committed vindictively. In the 20+ years in the business, there is not a single angle people haven't already considered and with that, while we (Coates advocates) understand your perspective, it's certainly a valid interpretation, though unfortunately not the most powerful one to walk away with.
The point being he doesn't care about all that jazz or what you or I think. He does what needs to be done to raise money and keep working at it. He does what he does to keep the lights on. It's not deceptive or unscrupulous, in this case it's absolutely necessary and I for one truly believe he is knocking on the door of success. Greatness, well that always seems to come not long after.
