Patientman - yea, we had some disagreements in he past, yet were on pretty much the same page recently. Best of luck to you (and all Longs) too!

Pappy - Thanks for piping up....

Opty - I'm just full of compulions and delusions! LOL I actually thought long and hard before disclosing. I thought I'd wait till after PTSC came out with something before saying anything, but when it may be that we won't hear anything for awhile (when I expected it NLT today), I thought I'd go ahead. Why was I waiting for PTSC? Because I thought it was probable that I'd have comments about it, but felt it would be most ethical to disclose before offering any opinions/thoughts on whatever they had to say.

Necessary? No, not from a simplistic view (not calling you simplistic by any means). But it would explain my more fully extended absense from posting, and alert people to my position when/if I post again. I've been hanging around this stock for well over a decade, and expect to continue hanging around (even if again from the outside looking in). I still think this company is destined for greatness, but damn! LOL

Hopefully I'll be back, and that my timing will be right for a change!
