Sorry Oldgreg,
I will defend FJ because after all we've been through, I think this company will be a home run! If it's an unmitigated disaster, I will blame myself, I know FJ personally, he is a man of great character and a major contributor who helped this forum for years with his brilliant posts and due diligence.
Yes he's very optimistic (even if management sells 2.5% of their options, big deal!) because of his research on our optical interposer and the ramifications it can have to disrupt just about every major communication vertical out there. He's reported to us about the live demo and how we are progressing to become a real market player, dealing with Major Clientele, on the cusp of design wins and the whole nine yards. This is not the time to tarnish FJ, soon we should (anyone who benefited from all his hard work) find out what his favourite drink is, send him over a few bottles or a case if you really benefited and say "thank you" !
Sometimes FJ takes things personally or the wrong way, I can forgive him that because without him, I wouldn't be on the cusp of Being called Mister Small Potatoe soon enough, I could have thrown in the towel at tremendous losses but with the company's success literally at our doorstep, all we have to do is let Suresh keep meeting the Client milestones (which he's done the last 3 years)....I feel it coming....we're almost there guys.
