@etops,
Blevins sounds like just the guy we need. It will send a signal to potential investors, and an even stronger signal to potential POET customers. He will be known to everyone in the industry and he will add greater credibility as Ajit and Adam have done.
I still think it will take a deal to get a lasting boost to the SP and to make a NAS listing possible. I think this will happen sometime soon after Blevins is named as the new CEO.
