In contrast of the opinion of other respected HLs, below I repeat an excerpt from one of my very recent posts (which received no reply to this comment):

"Oh, and for those who ALWAYS say negative posts have no impact, apparently they forget an occasion some 6-7 years ago that proved beyond any doubt that what gets posted here can have a definite and immediate impact on the PPS. The occasion I'm recalling can hopefully be verified by others. What had happened occurred on a Friday morning, I recall (usually a dead trading day). I believe it was one of the Wilke boys (Paul?) who had made contact with someone at the PTO and asked for status regarding a re-exam (very early on). The PTO person advised that the re-exam action had been terminated, and this was kindly reported right here on Agora (and spread from here to other message boards). The PPS immediately spiked in a big way to the positive with a lot of volume. We're talking 30-40% and over a million shares (2 million?). People questioned the info, innocently posted here. Paul (or Bill) again called the PTO rep and asked more questions only to find that there had been a mix-up/communication breakdown, if I recall it revolved around confusion of the patent number versus the re-exam application number. As soon as the error was discovered, it was reported here with appropriate apologies for a purely innocent error. The PPS dropped back to previous levels. The entire event took only two to three hours, start to finish. All because of a post here. Nothing else, no other source (other than rehash of the Agora post elsewhere) and, after all, it turned out to be faulty info. If it can happen to the positive, it can happen to the negative. And it does. Witness what happened last week. Or turn a blind eye."

Now do you understand?

I'm tempted, to protect OUR investment, to just start reporting/banning people who suggest ANYTHING that suggests an action of any kind that IMO would have any possibility of disrupting or negatively influencing, directly or indirectly, the flow of infringer identification, notification or licensing by Alliacense. I strongly suspect that this would resolve the concern Ron last posted about - eliminating the root cause. And, based on the above excerpt, irrefutable experience, it would probably have some impact on the root cause of the "thing you don't understand", Bob.

Or we can keep things as is, as some here desire, and continue to allow this non-sense to continue. That is, allow people to scream generally the SOS they scream EVERY TIME the PPS goes up. The screaming serves but one purpose IMO, because there is only one way it gets a desired result for the individuals involved. And it has nothing to do with PTSC as a company. It has to do with trading. As THEY often say: "follow the money".

Another HL states he'll remove or otherwise act on any post that discusses the actions of other users. Have at it - this one is ripe.

If you only just recognize what is stated in this post, please give it a thumbs-up.
