Sula, you addressed the very fear I had in my previous post about the possible misuse of Adrian by unconstrained and possibly frivalous overuse of the opportunity Adrian presents. 

Flooding Adrian with a myriad of requests by Agoracom member's that incorporate both well focused and off target poorly focused requests will neither serve Adrian or POET investors well.   

In one sentence you summarized everything I crudely and unsuccessfully previously attempted to communicate: 

"The  notion that Adrian can be engaged to carry out low level DD research into other companies by the whim of posters here to me is rather obviously a misunderstanding of his intended role."

You just said it so much better than I did.  Thanks, Sula.

We may not have those "Golden Eggs" just yet.  Correction!  We don't have the Golden Eggs yet.  So how much sense does it make to kill the Goose who will help lay those future Golden Eggs?  You don't abuse one of the best weapons you have in your arsenal by overloading it, especially with tasks that any other member could do with a little DD.  Keep the focus on what is important for Adrian to achieve and don't tie his hands behind his back with systemic overload.  We have a resource here that should be used to his optimal advantage, not abused with the "small stuff". 

Yup, just my opinion... but at least one other member here has a similar view.  Again, Thanks, Sula.
