I came to the message board tonight and saw two pages of unread messages.  Naturally because I come here everyday, I assumed that something important must have had to have happened.  And, as I read all of those messages I realized that something had happened.  Something had happened to you.

I've long appreciated the time that you've spent digging through all of those legal documents, just as I have appreciated having a couple of lawyers here who could interpret them.  All of us have waited a long time on Patriot, and now, more than the money I could ever make from it and regardless of the money that I have lost because of it, I now hope that the Patriot ship comes in for you.  I hope that Mr. Pohl will make that happen for you.  I want him to know his investors and I want him to feel about us as we have come to feel about you.

You have faced some pretty dangerous risks in investing with Patriot and yet you steadily carry on with the work that you share with all of us all while you keep believing in the company.  In fact, at every stop that I have made along the way, at every message board which I have read, I have come in only to find your footprints already there.  You have, without showing any ill ego at all, contributed to countless investors on your path, and judging by the response that you have received by this motly crew I am sure that by now you must be aware of that.

I am hoping, Wolfpackvoltaire, that you show these same qualities and characteristics in your coming medical challenges.  If you show that same breed of loyalty and stubborness that doesn't allow Patriot to fail then I know that it won't allow you to.  

Please know that our thoughts are with you, that our prayers now will include you just as they have encompassed Marc, and that we want to have you both back with us soon.

And, may I also say thank you.  Thanks for being one of us.
