Greetings and salutations BigB,
These are very interesting changes and yes, they are many years overdue. I guess I can say that now without being attacked by the crowd that operated on hearsay, rumor and misdirection issued by the previous leaders to their Chauvanistic followers.
The resumes of the new faces are interesting, but I think they need examination and scrutiny well beyond the readily apparent.
My biggest concern is the departure of the two men who know more about the targeted technology than all others combined ... YC and XX. At least Harilyn appears to be weathering the storm ... she can no doubt be of last assistance to the new tam of scientists that will be needed to bring anything to market.
A close second is that pesky little problem about a patent infringement being needed to made the CYGX technology work properly.
I had lunch with former CEO/Ch of BOD, etc. We lamented his fatal mistake of bringing in someone who was actually more incompetent that Malcolm an the results of their childish temper tantrums and second grader pissing matches. Absent those, we would have had product on the market long ago and would have had a revenue stream. We think it could still be accomplished, but neither of us are ready to rejoin the venture.
I do not know of anything that we espoused or stated that has not come to fruition in the intervening period. There are still a few ghosts lurking in the shadows who represent the kiss of death for the entire venture. The sanitizing has not gone far enough.
