Clifford:  "but where is the beef".  Clara Peller could not have expressed it better.  "heartwarming, but fleeting" is an emotion I am sure that occurs with those who are part of any arduous building process and to that emotion many might say:  "Is it really worth all the effort required to conquer the obstacles in this building process?"

The answer to that question is totally dependent upon the outcome of the building process and we will only know via the rear view mirror from the future.  Frustration is still a factor in this game, but I believe (Yup, there is that "believe" qualification again, Clifford) that this last deal with Misubishi will turn out, in retrospection, to be the "Holy Grail" that takes us from the apology of "takes time" forward into the future reality of "been there, done that".  At present Thomas Paine would capsulize this as "these are the times that try investors souls".  And how!

If this is the Inflection Point, we won't recognize it fully at this present moment in time, but a year or two from now we will universally point back to it with assurance that "IT" was that moment when the future changed for the better for POET and its investors.  When that occurs then the opinion won't be "fleeting". 

In the meantime, what a struggle, eh?  The best things in life come with effort and struggle and overcoming adversity.  Something that long time POET investors have experienced enough to qualify for writing an instruction manual on that subject.
