BUT, without parsing each of your statements one by one, the thing that is important is the results of the arbitration with NOK.

Standards committees don't mean squat unless they produce something for the bottom line. In fact, if they don't produce something for the bottom line, they cost us money.

I don't understand #3 at all. What "cronies" ; could you expand a bit?

Taking LU to task? Well, we'll see what happens with that.

Surviving the SEC audit? Well I expect that companies SHOULD be doing the right thing notwithstanding the many who aren't--I'm NOT invested in Tyco WCOm Enron Adelphia Rite Aid AIG etc.

And much of what you say is more fluff than substance.

It is the bottom line that matters, is the company going to score big or not?

I think THAT is what long term investors are waiting for (short termers too) THAT is what all the hype has been about and the big payday is something we're all still waiting for.

I'm IN for the long run, for better or worse I AM married to this investment and a divorce would be too costly.

As I have said before, I'm frustrated with lots of hype and not much substance to back it up; frustrated with the big payday always being deferred; upset about the ERICY settlement--at the time I thought it would trigger the dominoes to fall but instead I think it was widely perceived as signalling weakness not strength--I was wrong to think it showed strength.

So yes I AM waiting for the Arb ruling. Just like we were waiting for the ERICY outcome. But it has proven to be like waiting for godot.

I share the hopes and dreams of those who are long this stock.

Anticipation it is making me wait. Patience has not been rewarded thus far; perhaps it will be in the (near) future and that would prove that patience IS a virtue.

Thanks for your post.
