At the risk of offending some (and possibly Ajit, but somehow I don't think he is reading this), I got the feeling he had his fingers in some other projects/ventures/councils/keynotes outside of POET.

Perhaps that was intentional, as in keeping other eyes off our prize while it was undergoing final refinements for commercialization. Perhaps there were other reasons, as he is connected with many other companies and showing favoritism for one would be impolitick.
