My exchange with Brian began because he decided to interject in an exchange between me and dotob, to "correct" me. Needless to say at that point the frustrations of reading the periodic, but constant, BOD attacks for months compelled me to call a spade a spade in regard to how I view Brian's posts.
As for my views of PTSC, based on the info in the 10q and dismissal of Goerner, Senn and Bibeau, it seems apparent to me that the 3 got caught with their hands in the cookie jar in some way or another. For this reason I do not look to PDSG as anything to get happy about in the near future, taking the conservative view that I can only be pleasantly surprised in the future. I was surprised that they expect a positive report from Baroni based on the above. So who knows, maybe it's not as dire as I feel it is.
That said, I was never of the opinion that PDSG would replace the MMP in importance at any time in the near future anyway. I think the recert news and subsequent signings may mean we've turned the corner we've all been waiting for. Unfortunately we will probably not have positive proof of that until the next 10q is released in February.
