Releasing the news about Putnams departure BEFORE the release of material events (IP announcements mentioned) is a huge improvement in PR methods......in the past we would have great news on a friday and get a bomb dropped on monday (this is figuratively obviously but it paints the picture of the PR nightmare we have endured since 2000). I for one like the change and look forward to tomorrows announcements. RP has done a good job thus far keeping the lights on at EDIG and I wish him and his 6 million shares well.

Putnam always said that one day him and fred would have to hand the reins over to someone better suited to help edig reach new heights, lets hope this day is upon us.

So I guess I'll say I'm a little concerned about the timing of his departure given the timing of all the events but at this point my chips are on the table and I await further news and the Markman!
