Your civil post gave me pause...

Though my previous post was not a retraction (though a desire to have it removed).  It was made and then I read it with regret. 

So you can understand why I went off half cocked and had the barrel explode in my face, I will share this:

Up until about a year ago, I took phone calls from many NPCT/VYTC investors.  Many phone calls were lamentations and gripe sessions.  The drain on my life and sanity over seven years was such that about a year ago, I cut many people off.  Though this was in self preservation, I know that I offended or hurt a lot of people's feelings. 

Even now, I spend an inordinate amount of time on VYTC.  Though it is not my largest investment, it is a very large investment.  Yet I do still feel my life having one focus which is probably not healthy or wise.

Even my favorite dentist, who called on the night of our last news, told me that I need to get a life.  He is right.

The above is to paint a picture of who I am and for further clarity I am making the cardinal investment sin of taking this company personally.  But, I also have some ego in its development and potential financial growth.  I do feel like a partner, not an investor.

You are right in that something either written or said in haste can reveal true feelings.  You are also right in your thought that I did not understand your motives in those past posts that gave rise to my anger and ire.

I did not nor do not get what your motives or intentions were.  What I saw was a manipulation of questions, short answers, and then a gotcha thrown back to me.  That may not have been your intent but it is what came across to me.  I felt an inconsistency from an aspect of a person who is hopeful investor but then a few days later, came in for a slash at corporate success.  I perceived that as a threat from an unexpected direction and came out swinging.

What I think I understand is that you were attempting to focus our attention to the lack of confirmed revenue and that it was tenuous at best as an implication to the success of the company.  The way that I felt you went about it, felt like I was being drawn into a trap.  That I do not like, even if that was not how you meant it. 

Whether I was right or wrong, that is history.  And now you know that I do have a side of me that is not a saccharine or glossy over.  I can be a ba***rd.  Just ask my exes. I have several friend/investors that have gotten into it with me too.  We worked through it and still speak.

Why am I taking the time to respond to you?  I am still trying to figure that out.  Probably because I do see you as very intelligent and well intentioned. Probably because I see that this was a misunderstanding rooted in some truth.  You may not understand why I came out with teeth bared just as I may not understand why you posted the way you posted.

In your revelation that you hold stock and held stock lets me know that you do want to see success.  Whether you or I hold more, I really don't care.  You might be surprised.  The point is for success and that we are in this together.

For you and I, we probably will never understand the other and our methods in posting.  But what is clear, we do care about how we come across and our impact on others.  That is probably one of the reasons we are engaging in this discourse.

Will it help the share price?  Chuckle, no.

Do I expect you to be wary of my explosive temper?  Sure.  And that is what I do not like about how I acted.  That is what I regret.  And I'll avoid the chat rooms while watching a boxing match on HBO which is what I was watching last night. 

Well, off to waiting for the sales to begin and the news to come out.
