I am sure that Laurie could handle this--if she decides to take it on.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Having said the above, I see nothing wrong with a "designated shareholder" or two contacting the examiner on a VERY sproadic basis, and obviously in a VERY nice way, in order to inquire about the progress of the re-exam. I don't think we would be able to place any real reliance on any time frame that might be stated, but I see no harm in letting the examiner know of the interest in the shareholder community, and the concern over the repetitive re-exams --- again, the key here is "VERY sporadic" and "VERY nicely". One or two people calling is one thing --- five or ten getting on the bandwagon to purportedly "help out" is quite another.
