I have to say that for the first time in a long time do I feel somewhat reassured by the company. Time will tell ultimately how well Rick and Patriot does. But I do believe that he is making an excellent effort at communicating with us and keeping us updated and informed to the best of his ability.

I would also specifically like to point out the changing of the IP and IR companies. Personally I feel this is huge, and way overdue. Rick is doing a good job of keeping us informed. I can only believe having their own in house personel taking over those responsiblities will make it even better.

The fact that he felt he had to address all the traffic going on in this message board is both a good and bad thing. It's a good thing because it shows he's paying attention to this board and what we have to say. It's a bad thing because he felt he had to address all the conspiracy theories and negavtivey. But ultimately his responsiveness tells me that if Patriat had been doing a good job of communicating with us to begin with, a large part of the negativey and conspiracy theory stuff wouldn't have even shown up here. So really, it's Patriots own fault. But the good news to me is, that Rick is recognizing that and doing something about it to address it and prevent any future negative speculation.
