jims,silly question for you or others...I've never quite understood why PPHM goes to these conferences if there is, in fact, a "beard" for the party...that is, if we already have a silent partner in the wings, or even seriously interested companies. Is it simply to keep up appearances? Does it provide leverage against suitors? Indicate we're still thinking about going it on our own? Keeping options open? Shopping loans? All the above? None? Thanks.
