TJG u r correct on all accounts. As it relates directly to the 13G filing I’ll share a little education w/ any who seem to grasp said.
A Schedule 13G filing is typically made by an investor or group of investors who acquire a significant amount of a publicly traded company's securities, but do not intend to exercise control over the company. It's an alternative to the more detailed Schedule 13D, which is filed when an investor intends to influence or control the company.

Who files a 13G:
Institutional investors (like mutual funds, pension funds, and other large investors) or
Passive investors who acquire 5% or more of a class of securities, and do not intend to exert control or influence over the company.
In particular, Schedule 13G is often filed by:

Institutional investors who acquire 5% or more of a company’s stock but do not intend to take control.
Passive investors who hold a 5% or more stake and do not plan to actively influence the management or policies of the company.
Qualified institutional investors (QIs) like certain banks, insurance companies, and investment firms.
Individuals or entities who acquire the securities in a passive manner, i.e., without the intent of controlling or influencing the company.
Sole Responsibility for Filing:
The responsibility for filing the Schedule 13G lies with the person or entity who owns or controls the securities, which can be the investor or entity acquiring the 5% or more stake.
If the investor is an institutional investor, the institution itself files the 13G.
If it’s an individual investor, the individual is responsible for filing.
The filing is usually due within 45 days after the end of the calendar year in which the 5% threshold is crossed, but it must be filed promptly once the threshold is met.
In short, the party that acquires 5% or more of a company’s stock, and intends to passively hold that stake without seeking control, is responsible for filing Schedule 13G.

Perhaps that last highlighted section might also shine some light on the other boogie man ideas floated around by any…

TJ, I respectfully asked you to knock off the hubris. You don't understand the controversy you're feeding on is a LIABILITY to this company's and this board's progress. One minute you're claiming Jim was very diligent, the next minute you're slandering the guy with disrespect, chortling at the fact. Your hypocritical HUBRIS is not helping our chances no matter who is in charge.

You seem to see it your solemn duty to cut down any shareholder any director any CEO, ANYONE that disagrees with your view point. I'm more than convinced your relentlessly scathing remarks of Patrick were expressly responsible for his early departure. You're not helping anyone the way you carry on jumping down anyone's throat at the drop of a hat with this Demi God routine.

The constant controversy with your incessant abrasiveness is NOT Constructive. Why can't you understand that attacking people never gets there best side. Come down out of that ivory tower, you're shooting yourself in the foot bigtime. More importantly the droning on controversy you create daily is very repugnant to would be shareholders. Narciscism is a brain disorder. You will be much happier if you seek medical help and so would I quite candidly. We all would. You think I'm just messing with your head here, don't you. Well see for yourself then...with all due respect get some help.

Google is Narciscism a brain disorder?

Yes, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition that may be related to structural and biological differences in the brain: 
•
•
• Brain structure
People with NPD may have a reduced volume of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex and the left anterior insular cortex. These regions of the brain are associated with empathy, compassion, cognition, and emotional regulation. 
•
•
• Oxidative stress
A study found that people with NPD have increased oxidative stress in their blood. Oxidative stress is a molecular imbalance in the body that can create stress on the body. 
•
• Brain connectivity
A study found stronger brain connectivity between the paraventricular thalamus and nucleus accumbens in males with psychiatric symptoms. 
Other factors that may contribute to NPD include: Genetics, Observation and imitation, and Negative childhood experiences. 
•
There are no FDA-approved treatments for NPD, but psychotherapy and relaxation exercises may help.
