"Much would have to change for any Company to be willing to accept much PTSC stock. So to be buying back at this time with the assumption that a Company will accept stock is insane, imo"

Couldn't agree more. If I were involved with a client negotiating some kind of acquisition by PTSC I would not recommend taking any stock in the deal. If we are talking about a merger, despite what has been posted often here lately, I would think the intrinsic value of each company would have to be determined, and then shares of a new company issued based on the respective values. The share price of either company should not enter into the equation. If that should happen, we would definitely end up in court over the transaction.
