Yes, point taken. I didn't mean to imply that the $7.56M was just the salaries and other costs I briefly listed, but rather that it was those plus the items you mention as well as some others. The pertinent blurb from the 10K that expounds on those costs is pasted below. My point is these are the costs that are directly attributable to these people, thier decisions and their efforts to move the company forward and disentangle it from issues they in large part created. And I wanted to differentiate that these costs are NOT inclusive of the MMP costs and other business venture costs. In the end of the day, PTSC can't afford to spend like this WITHOUT creating a perception that they can provide investors with VALUE. To date they haven't despite so many successes. They CAN change that with the right ACTION, independent of USPTO, M&A, and T3 and other similar issues.
