When you think back over the last five or six years, some thoughts are hard to suppress.

I wonder what really was going on with Louis... what an amazing distraction he was at the time. Other than the lawyers making a lot of money, I`m not sure what was real, and what was part of a plan.

Then there were financing deals. The company seemed to be growing, although there was no revenue to speak of. But, the lawyers made money.

And the different divisions... and the various other agreements. Nothing has become of those efforts. Unless, of course, you consider the money that the lawyers made.

And now we have Xact. None of us are really sure exactly where this venture will end. But, once again, I am sure the lawyers made a lot of money.

And, then there are the deals that must be disguised. All the various mysterious parties who are involved in financing deals with the company. Is Neptune another Arizcan? What about all the other ones listed in the various financial documents? Who are the people behind the deals? And, what ties do they really have to Nanopierce management?

There has been no commercial success with any of Nanopierce`s ``deals``. I just wish I knew whether the real intent was to s***w the common shareholder without concern for the future, or whether it really didn`t make a difference if the shareholders stayed or left, as long as the doors stayed open and salaries continued to be paid.

I guess if we wanted to spend a lot of money on the you-know-who`s (a.k.a. lawyers), we might learn a little bit more. The sad part is that the lawyers already have most of the money.

Very, very sad.
