I can't agree more with your post. I think that we should not lose sight of the fact that we may lose a few battles here and there as long as we win the war (i.e. continued licensing, positive USPTO results possibly including the 584, and good M&A and use of cash for other investments as RG has suggested).

I appauld the steps that our new CEO has taken and will continue to make - and done so in a very short period of time. To be quite frank, I am more confident in where this company is going..than let's say 8/9 months or so ago when I first starting puchasing shares in this company (and continue to do so). In for a penny (no punn intended) in for a pound at this point - and would lose my shirt if I sold at this stage of the game. So I will hold (and continue to purchase) and hope that the re-exam is in our favor..or that we conclude the M&A prior to that event.

Although the time table for all of this is at a turtle's pace, we should not forget the outcome of the turtle and the hare!
