Since the deletion, Mr. Tobak posted the following comment under his article:

"Regarding Patriot Scientific, if you bought the stock when it went public in 1996, you've lost 80% of your investment to date (adjusted for splits and dividends). That was the sole metric I used in listing the companies in paragraph 15. In fact, I was asked to meet with one of the company's board members, as a favor, last year. I know its situation quite well. So yes, I do research the companies I write about. Nevertheless, I deleted the paragraph. Steve Tobak"
