In revisiting "build it and they will come" that we talked about extensively way back when; it's taken much longer than any of us anticipated and it looks different than what we thought, but based on my understanding the technology we have is an important step change in today's technology.  That said. Do folks remember that there was a little informal poll back then about whether we would like to see a quick take out at lower prices or stay in it for the long haul and reap the long term benefits of Poet developing the technology?  It appears that we are on the cusp of so much of what was talked about then. I know the share price got terribly hammered in the process, but here is hoping it will be worth the wait (including additional waiting if necessary). We also talked about these guys being in it for the significance of the technology advances and all that portends and not just as a quick roll out of something less than what we've got now (in other words they weren't in it for the quick buck - they are in it to win it and to advance technology in a most significant way, thereby making history).  I hope they've protected us from the wolves out there and that we will be rewarded in the years to come for our patience. I figured we were going to get diluted one way or another. Has anyone else thought that their ability to dilute this thing prevented us or prevents us from getting gobbled up on the cheap by one of the big guys out there?. I was the person at the THM in Toronto that asked about their capital requirements going forward. Ajit took that question.  That was before the last PO. I didn't like the PO but I kinda thought that that was what it was going to take to get us where we are now and the price we would have to pay to keep this as Poet's tech. A necessary evil if you will. GOOD LUCK TO ALL LONGS!  I hope this year brings us exciting developments and concrete indications that we are on the right path.
