With the disclaimer that I don't think an SEC investigation is necessarily the best course, and refraining from imitating your mocking laughter, I'm interested to know what you think is the downside to such an investigation?

Do you think it will drop the pps the remaining 5% value of the 95% it's already lost? Do you think it changes the USPTO process? Do you think it affects TPL's negotiations with infringers? Do you think it encourages the BoD to increase their pay levels or deplete the company's treasury? Do you think that if the USPTO recertifies the 336 and licensing deals ensue at a rapid pace, and SEC filings reveal that fees have dramatically increased that the SEC investigation will keep the pps from rising? What about the comments that the MMP is everything?

If a man in his 50's has urinary issues and other symptoms that might indicate prostate problems, is he better off to ignore those possible symptoms and not have the doctor check him out since he can still pee and have sex? Is it also funny to you that a history of failure continues to go unpunished, and in fact is rewarded? Which of the "laundry list" is an amusing issue?

Please share the comedy? Do you think if any of those points have merit, them members of PTSC management and BoD are going to report it to the SEC, or have it otherwise investigated? While I certainly don't draw parallels to Enron, do you think the members of Enron's executive team, and BoD were responsible for drawing attention to their activities? Do you think those people didn't file with the SEC only what they thought was necessary and required, and found ways to sheild what they didn't?

Why is it amusing that shareholders would simply want to assure that our interests are protected?
