@opencon,
I agree with you regarding the whining, but POET is obviously comfortable *not* pandering to its shareholders. Also, without the likes of IBK and Sheldon (when he's happy), POET would be a smoldering crater where a half-baked solar company used to be. POET was built on money from SBIR grants and from a RTO of Tandem Resources followed by a bunch of capital raises arranged by IBK.
I hope POET continues to remember how they got here and treats its shareholders with respect.
