Dear Scary,

I am not a great fan of the 'I told you so' tone of your post But respect your drive for honesty and reality.

Lots of us here have been on the same journey with you. I like you don't feel in the least surprised that the SP would nose dive on the slightest hint that something might be amiss. The reason being that volatility is what one should expect from investing in a Venture Capital market which, to add salt to the wound appears to be in a pretty flakystate at present in any case, so no surprises there at all for the mass exodus.

What you, I and many others know, who have been keen observers on this board, is that POET fudementals remain in excellent order. Our state of mind should not be overly altered by the human error of an outside installer on one small, albeit important, part of the system and in the firm belief that the situation has now been resolved.

I think that PC did his best to minimise the effect but this board's unerring ability to sniff out facts and reveal them publicly plays it's own part in initiating stampedes, particularly in the wrong direction.

What is so amazing about our current situation which we could not say last year is that very soon the stampede could be easily running in the opposite direction. Put your ear to the ground you can hear the rumble.

I don't think you should deny our board it's dreams for the sake of righteousness. The dreamers may be right in the end, I have money on it and you do too.

with regards
