The degree of unpleasantness, the callings out and turning ins on ourselves is a rather typical 'rough day on the board' that has been a characteristic here prior to news. We have observed this phenomena several times before.

I have not been counting but it seems to me that the length of time between the expected announcement of news by this board and the actual announcement equals the statement 'POET is always late with its milestones' that PC openly admitted to those round the table at the CIC event in London.

However much the glooms spread their despondency disguised as greater realism on this board, they cannot get away from the fact that what they say is just conjecture with no real basis or respect for the reality that the fudementals of this company have just got better and better.

The truth is that the dynamic nature of the business of monetisation is a highly complex balancing act that shareholders should have no part in and should leave to those appointed on merit and experience to undertake on our behalf.

Would the armchair directors please sit down and the glooms sell up and leave this space for those with belief in their management and the IP of Geoffrey Taylor's team.
