Dear Tom Mika,

Thank you for your response to the apparently inaccurate characterization of the headline I quoted in my most recent post.  It seems, as one poster subsequently noted that the "POET loses..." headline was added AFTER the original Press Release - most likely by Agoracom!  So I sincerely apologize for missing that connection in my original post.

On the other hand, in all due respect Tom, I believe that the main premise of my post - that POET does not come anywhere near "blowing its own horn" sufficiently in respect to its OI and its "disruptive technology".

I submit that many earlier posts by other posters here have been far more negative and nastier than my post.  I think the number of "recommendations" in fact suggests that there is no shortage here of what appears to be a diminishing level of patience amongst POET investors.

I also would like to assure you that I have not and would not knowingly or intentionally post anything misleading or disparaging of POET.  I am an old electrical engineer myself and have a modicum of understanding of POET's technology.  This has allowed me to accumulate an uncommonly large (for me) position in the stock of your company and I wish you nothing but but the best results, both personally and as one of the leaders of this special enterprise.  And I wish the same for all my fellow impatient posters on this forum.  Tom, I also admire your willingness to add color here from time to time.  Thanks for listening.
