Brian is not on the PTSC 'Board'.. if we could only be so lucky. He was and is our 'Shareholder rep'.. As far as I know Brian received nothing for accepting this appointment. As I posted before, Brian is as concerned as ever for his and our investment in PTSC. Why he no longer participates here, I am not sure and I will not speculate, but I think I have a good idea. I know what he would be posting about here tho. He would be concentrating his efforts on the performance of Pohl & the Board. He would be concentrating on what the people that have a direct hand and influence on our investment monies are doing... He would be concentrating on what Pohl & the Board are going to do with the MMP $s.. What are they going to invest it in? Why are the making the decision/s re it they are making? How & who is going to manage this investment? Are they rushing into a decision? Are they seeking the help of outside counsel, or are they meking this decision strictly in house, as per usual? Who is going to benefit the most from this decision.. S&L, Shareholders, Board?? What happens if the wrong decision is made.. are Pohl & the Board to be held responsible? Are the benefit/option grants ever going to end or do they go on for ever? Etc... Brian would be (and is) concentrating his efforts on what Pohl, PTSC Board & management actually have control over, because they have the keys to our investment future in the decisions they are going to make. MMP licensing, litigation & TPL will more or less take care of themselves (to whatever end).. we are just along for the ride there. Pohl has an enormous responsibility sitting in his lap, and our investment well being may hinge on it... that is what Brian would be mostly posting about... as should we, IMO.
