< please read the company's recent disclosures>

The comapny's disclosures are many. Perhaps you can point to where and what I'm looking for which proves the relationship is unchanged.

<or Laurie's post regarding accounting. >

I read it a couple of times and I do not see how it relates to what you are saying. Perhaps you can explain the connection?

<Please help us understand why you think the TPL/PTSC relationship has changed.>

I can only go by what PTSC has stated on the subject. It leads one to the a conclusion that the relationship has changed. If you choose to believe otherwise, that is your perogative. It is not my desire to influence you. I am simply trying to understand the basis for opinions that differ from mine so I can properly weigh the pros and cons. I regret having difficulty understanding the basis for your opinion on this particular subject.
