Yip, agree Lou - while I would have preferred Vortex to have worked-out given their industry experience and contacts, it's not the end of the world.
Luther Jeffries got this started and was the one who acquired them in the first place, so I'm inclined to back him. I still go back to the "cancellation of the R/S" - never seen a CEO do this, and protect shareholders this way, and because of that alone, he has my support.
If the partnership with Vortex wasn't working out, then kudos to Jeffries for nipping-it-in-the-BUD, so to speak ;)
