``Manipulation.. This stock IMO has been manipulated every which way for yrs, and IMO it`s the nature of the OTC beast [which is why we need to get off this exchange] But, if that is the case, why not use it to PTSC`s benefit (in the short run)? Create a quiet period, keep price down, buy back shares, S&L convert warrants to shares to buy back to remain under the 9.9%, get rid of most of the daytraders, reduce the number shorting, let specific investors get in at a lower price.. there are numerous possible reasons.``

In that one paragraph you crystallize everything. Well done.

As far as Mr. Dood is concerned I promise to the board that I will not respond to him in the future since it now appears his sole intent is to disrupt the board.

Everyone have a great rest of the weekend.
