Very disheartening, but I sure wouldn't go that far. It may best explain the need to conserve cash though, as you point out.

I was SO tempted to jump back in yesterday. For once I resisted the temptation, and it may have been a smart move. As it turns out, it appears my "watch from the sidelines" strategy may actually work out well. When my funds became available, the PPS was at .31. Normally/historically, I would have jumped in immediately for fear of missing a run. Sticking with the strategy.... I'd honestly rather chase it up on good news than (again) buy/hold and watch her drop.

Can someone please provide the current request application number?

I would think, new examiner or not/new prior art or not, that things would move along faster this time around. So much has already been done/documented. But who knows? Certainly not me....

'Cuz I KNOW nuttin'!
