I don't know Otter. When the "group hug" picture is taken, there might be a handful of us missing. lol.
On the other hand, if this thing ever graduates out of the teens, I'd like to be on the prom committee.
lol -- we seem to have been infiltrated by the IFBI
Here's hoping the Hopwood connection yields more fruit than the Pomrehn connection. That seems to have been a waste of shares.
This is our 2nd ANNUAL Shareholders Meeting. The very first was (I think) four years ago. The PPS at the time was $1.40, and, if I recall correctly, we were given more than 3 weeks notice at the time.
Too bad this whole crappy situation had to happen. Used to be a pretty tight knit group. Now there's two clearly opposing factions with some friendships broken and never to be re-mended. Could've all been prevented.
"Bull's ear, Catnip." lol
OT -- hasher --OT
We're supposed to arrive in Vancouver at 10:45 your time. Baggage goes directly to the ship. There's immigration and customs to be dealt with, but I'll bet there's an hour or two where we (you, Wolf, LB) could get together for a brewski. I'll wear my Powertec hat -- I still have it. Have LB wear full-body armor -- he'll need it. lol
No one has stated that you delete OT posts on a regular basis - just the ones that suit you, reagrdless of content. The Ship High In Transit post(s) were, by Matt's own words -- "off topic". He said nothing about vulgarity or cussing -- just Off Topic and I agree, it WAS off topic. The fact that the abbreviation for Ship High In Transit has metamorphasized into a term that is now offensive to you and the old timer SHOULD have nothing to do with the history lesson. But, regardless of the content of the post, it was offensive to YOU and therefore got the blade. With the possible exception of rooster, I'll bet there was not a single person here who read that post who was offended in any way. Anyway, prior to your tenure, an "OT" at the beginning of a message was all that was necessary in order to convey a thought, message or even an occasional joke. Now it's an issue. Me oh my, what's a poster to do.
Just got my PWTC Annual Report for Fiscal Year ended 1/31/06 yesterday along with a proxy and notification of a stockholders meeting at the end of this month. Anybody else get theirs?
A little bit about the "cussing" that you and the old timer seem to be hung up on. Yes, there is a little bit of that going on here. We've got folks here who've lost thousands and thousands of dollars. Are they entitled to tee off from time to time - I say yes, they are. Further, in the overall scheme of things, this is still one of the more benign boards on Ihub insofar as "cussing" is concerned. Rooster tries to make it sound like as if you spew an expletive deleted, you're a "macho" heathen. I wonder what he said when he took that fall a couple of years back. I wonder if, in his ultra-pure mind, there is EVER a reason to swear that is acceptable and understandable. Rooster?
You've gone to the principal and reported me as being a bad guy because that is your (or the old timer's) perception of me. Now, when a lot of posters indicate that perhaps their perception of YOU is less than rosey, you "cry" that it's unfair. You simply don't seem to get it. It's not the cussing nor the OT that bothers you, it's people using their God-given right to express dissatisfaction with the progress of their investment that eats you alive. When a derogatory remark is made against one of your heroes, out comes either you or the feathered one to defend their honor to the death. But, when things get a little too dicey for you to defend an indefensible situation, you use your veto power. If you'd just let people alone and inject a verbal warning, if necessary, instead of deleting or complaining to admin, trust me, there would be no problem. Walter can take care of himself. This company will live or die on what HE does, not you, me or this information outlet.
Negatory, good buddy, on the personal. That could get you in dutch and we wouldn't want such an eloquent belcher to find himself in hot water. Perhaps it took the past week's series of events to shed some light on a rapidly decaying situation. Who knows, maybe common sense will prevail yet.
You back from vacation, Wolf? I'm on my way to an Alaskan cruise a week from monday. Just had reconstructive elbow surgery that's hurting like the hammers of hell and needs to be re-visited, but I'll be on that ship, you can bet.
PWTC -- Get down, get funky.
gamood, lol - had I known you had posted on the subject, I would've given you credit. Back then, it would be a cinch to NOT be clipped.
As of 12:46, est, I have been placed "on notice" with Matt. I welcome his screening of the goings-on here and, should he elect to place my butt in jail, I hope I get rooster's old cell. Look me up when you're in the vicinity of the stir.
What "preferred type of cussing" do you refer to, logman? Aside from an occasional "hell" or "damn", you'd be hard pressed to find anything more malignant in my posts. I'll bet even the feathered one utters one of those from time to time. But, we all know you're trying to clean up this town and Admin is apparently behind you (actually, he's probably behind all of his boards' moderators). We also know that anyone who utters anything derogatory against your precious company or those who run it are at peril of being struck down by the swift sword of the logman. On this board, you either LOVE losing money or LEAVE. LOVE the progress or LEAVE if you feel there is none.
Anyone wonder how much we're ponying up for TWO Presidents these days? I hope Sentry is self-supporting on that score.
Hasher handed the mantle of responsibility over to you when it seemed as if there was a ground swell against him -- completely to his credit. Hasher pret-near ruined the board with his negativity and you are his antithesis. There is a happy medium and I wish you'd find it. It's called COMMON SENSE!
Oh, almost forgot -- tell rooster that I deleted his last post. I deemed it a personal attack and it hurt my feelings.
Go PWTC.
For those who might be having problems connecting the dots (given the intelligence of the remaining denizens here, I doubt that there are many having that problem -- pretty savvy group of dudes), there was a post by one of the members that included the "term" POS (Portion of Sauerkraut, if you will). That post was deleted. Another similar post was deleted a week or so ago. At that time, I petitioned Admin for a ruling on the subject matter. He allowed as how as long as the term wasn't used in excess (and it certainly is NOT, on this board, anyway) he had no real problem with it. Shortly after that, I posted a brief history lesson as to the origin of the term "Ship High In Transit". I hope everyone got a look at it before it was, in fact, deleted. In further researching the Ship High In Transit story, I find it seems to be totally accurate. Hence, one of the more offensive (to some) terms in use by many folks happens to have roots that are very, very benign. Soooo, once again I petitioned Matt for a ruling on that post. He stated it was "Off Topic". I contacted him again to point out that I had prefaced the post with the "OT" -- didn't that account for anything? His response was that he really didn't care for Off Topic posts AT ALL.
I've been in PWTC for over 7 years no. Couldn't be happier with the state of affairs. Mr. Walter is doing a fine job. Elbee was totally misunderstood. History might canonize him at some point. I hope his life these days is comfortable.
So, where does that leave us? No more jokes, no more announcing of the delivery of grandchildren, no more death announcements, no more posting of other stocks that might be of interest to the fellow denizens, no posting of how great it is to be living in a community that doesn't cuss, spit, chew, smoke, fart or just about anything else that could be construed as "offensive" or un-PC. Welcome to The Stepford Wives, redux -- UNLESS -- somewhere in the content of the post, there is something On Topic that will be pleasing to the ear of the autocracy. Also, abbreviations should be spelled out, clear and concise, in order that there will be no further ruffling of delicate sensibilities.
You GO, Beej.
Thank you for your time.
Gulfbreeze,
You DID mean Portion Of Shortbread, did you not? I'm fairly certain that even the most pure of us here would not find fault with "Portion of Shortbread".
All Hail PWTC (staying "on-topic"). Apparently drifting "Off Topic", even if announced at the beginning of a post is now pretty egregious stuff.
You GO, Beej!
It's real easy to see how one might be coerced into leaving the ranks of "skeptic" or "pessimist" and joining the ranks of "basher".
LOL - creature of habit, I s'pose.
More buzzwords: "Sentry systems are designed for those customers who want backup power solutions but either cannot or will not use fossil fuel based generators."
Seems to me that, unless these puppies are solar powered, the chances are excellent that they'll be recharged via fossil fuel.
Beats a sharp stick in the eye, I suppose.
Dunno. Wouldn't be my call. But, the offer is there when and if we come out with that prototype. Dealing with big outfits like APC can be a crap shoot, but I can about guarantee I could slide one in there at just the right location within the company for a good, hard look-see. APC has plants all over Rhode Island -- maybe 30 to 45 minutes away from me.
mvn, It's ironic that, at one point in time, I had hoped to get my hands on a PTI finished prototype to take to APC (American Power Conversion) for evaluation. They are a huge account of mine and I have a very good connection in the QC dept. The irony is that now we are a potential competitor. Go figure.
ty Bill - eom
Agreed, mvn, I go to Ace for everything in hardware Just strikes me as an inapropos location to purchase a back-up system that costs over a grand. I am assuming they are that kind of dough, whjich is why I asked what the prices were. I remember seeing the pricing back when the merge was first mentioned, just don't remember them.
mlf -- lol. You, sir, are the official lightning rod!
LOL -- there's now a flat spot on my forehead from slapping it with my wrist and saying "geek". I thought maybe you were out of town and meant to type in IO or something. Brain cramp moment.
I know that at one point, the different sized battery-back-ups by Sentry were priced out. Anyone remember how much they ran? The truth be known, they really ARE a good thing to have as opposed to a generator - IF - they're price competitive. As far as a quiet, smooth and powerful source of power in an emergency, for a couple of hundred bucks, you can purchase a power inverter that hooks to the car battery. The car running for a time is nowhere near as noisy as a generator, but you've got to be real picky as to what you're running with it.
In summation, my thoughts on the Sentry power back-up is that it's a real good idea with probably lots of better known competition and (to date) poor exposure (Ace Hardware Stores? C'mon)
Watney - come to think of it, I believe you're right :). How about Mr. Lay from Enron? Now THERE is a genius. Maybe he shoulda got into the potato chip biz instead.
LOL, showing my stupidity here, but where is IT?
Question: Was Einstein ever the CEO of a company?
Careful, Otter -- You used the "H" word. eom
Well done, mvn. As I have stated regarding that infamous post that purportedly has hasher in so much trouble, if even the SMALLEST portion of the Mike King allegations are true, we might just as well be in the tank with Tony Soprano.
Just an aside, but perhaps the plating process delay has finally begun to have an affect on the price. This thing couldn't hang in at 15 cents indefinitely with nothing positive in the pipeline. .13 - .14 at last looksee.
Pessimistic? Acknowledged.
Thanks, xmastree, gulfbreeze, hasher, credo.
Somehow, I cannot even BEGIN to imagine you with a smile on your face unless you're trying to barb someone. Further, should a poll be taken on that very subject, my money would be on the majority agreeing with me. I've had Joe Bltfsk's pic in there for about 2 months now and it's now you choose to "comment". Typical democrat, when you can't stick with facts, you've got to resort to name-calling and character assassination.
By the by -- you asked that I produce proof of the PR to which I referred in the post to which you queried. Shouldn't the "optimist" who sits at the computer all day searching through court dockets, etc., looking for dirt to shovel on people have been up-to-date on those missives? You DO recall that post, do you not?
The smarm continues.

Smarmy, as usual. Skeptics or pessimists needn't post here. Right, log? Must be tough with Hasher not around.
See 13283
And it doesn't strike you as just a little bit on the ironic side that shortly after their "PR" announcing their heightened state of excitement over exercising warrants that on comes their show with our two presidents chatting it up as to how wonderful things are gonna be? Actually, "ironic" can't be the proper term in that irony is the opposite of what you would expect to happen. I'm down with it, I s'pose, just cynical, as usual. Remember, there was a time when just about everyone thought Elbee walked on water too.
The cynic in me seriously wonders if there's any thread between Emerging Capital's sponsoring the show and the 5,000,000 warrant exercise. Perhaps they were just a little bit "excited" about getting payment for the show? Nah!
LOL -- Ya ever notice that just about everyone in these PR's (I don't care who's PR it is, they're all the same), everyone is "excited" about what's going on. What utter schlock!
Yessah, Preamp, old friend. Right on!
Well, can only hope that the new machinery that was delivered is "plug & play" without much in the way of bugs or learning curve. Sounds as if we're leveraged to the hilt now. The thing had better work.
OT -- credo -- Pretty rough life you're living there, Wolf. Stay safe. Will pass on your greetings to the cat-guy.
Bob
Certainly a step in the right direction but only one step. Was kinda hoping the results would yield a much greater advancement of the cause than more building and testing.
Welcome back, spank-bird. We tried to keep the place as you left it, late filings and all.
During the teleconference a couple of months back, Walter mentioned something about being choosy as to whom he would prefer to do business with as some groups might be more untrustworthy than others. Seems to me that, given the fact that in 20 years or so, it'll probably be Asia and the US in direct competition with each other for the rapidly depleting oil supplies, what's to say our battery isn't being disected and prepared for market already -- patent be dam ... errrr... darned? Who's gonna stop 'em?
