with all due respect to all posters involved...from a very interested shareholder who seldom posts. i've read all the back and forth posts with interest; but, admittedly my eyes often glase over with the complexity of the discussion. at this point it appears to be beating a dead horse. perhaps it's time to take a complex and detailed discussion such as this private, even to the point of having it with the principals of the company, as opposed to a public board with very limited knowledge of the subject. thank you for consideration of this suggestion, not to mention for the knowledge all of your posts impart to me (but enough on this particular discussion)!
