Can't we be more courteous to each other...

or are we really just a bunch of morons with our cheerleader making snide comments from the sidelines?
D.P. knows what he is doing, and even if he doesn't, who here is going to tell him? He may be an excellent lawyer, a fine CEO but his grasp of marketing is surely limited as evidenced by the timing of his letter. Nonetheless, it is done now, his decision made. We will all live with it just like we have thus far and we will hope for the best. I have faith in him, always have had and will continue to support him in running this company his way.
Monday will be proof enough. Either this all works for the benefit of share price or it will not. It was a fine letter he wrote and perhaps it will inspire new stockholders. That's what we need more of, not thinning the ranks by inciting some to sell. Christ, what kind of thinking is that?
I might add that the new Dutton report will give us added momo and maybe it was that which caused all the false drama over the letter. Maybe he wanted to get everything lined up just right. While I disagree with the timing of the letter's release, I hardly view it as a major drawback to owning the stock and little did I realize that he had arranged for the Dutton Report to come out after closing. I may have spoken too soon... I often do.
I am reminded of a quote by Bertrand Russell cited to me often as a youngster. "May I always state my opinion with some measure of doubt." I may be wrong and the share price will increase on Monday in which case I will fully humble myself and apologize for ever having expressed an opinion. And, even if I am right, I apologize to each of you for my lack of thought yesterday when I expressed disappointment in the timing of the release of the letter.
I would also like to say, I am sorry that my posts were picked up and posted on RB. Had I only thought before speaking I would never have expressed any such opinion at all. I in no way, shape or form wish to dampen any new prospective shareholder's enthusiasm by my having vented, however briefly I may have felt that way. I encourage people everywhere to hear the PTSC story and to invest a few bucks in a better than average long shot. As it happens, three of my friends came in Thursday on my recommendation. I guess what so disappointed me was that they all sold for a small profit on Friday. I'd have liked for them to stay long, like those of us here. All of us in here.
I hope that we will all be more tolerant and civil than has been the discussion since my vent of last night. I regret having done so.
