Dear Patriot Shareholders.

Thank you all for your participation and contributions within the AGORACOM Community. To start, I would like to thank you all for helping us build the best patriot Shareholder Community. This HUB since October 2007, has become an incredible resource of information for existing shareholders and prospective investors alike, and I wish you to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the long standing HUB Leaders and community members.

We want to take a moment to clarify a couple of things before we go in to a nice hot summer weekend.

First of all, with regards to who rules the board. The answer here is very simple - just look in to the mirror. YOU DO. Not us, not "rogue HUB Leaders", not the Sultan of Kunaman, but you. Each individual member.

As you may be aware, there have been some questions raised regarding the decisions by some of the HUB Leaders of the Patriot HUB in the past couple of days. To further complicate these matters, is that the HUB Leader's named are those who were promoted organically through our automatic system of promotions, rather than appointment by our staff.

What this implies is that enough members (in other words, enough of YOU) have been rated high enough by a sizable group of your peer's in order to attain these ranks and the authorities that come with it.

The flaws of the promotions system aside, this speaks volumes in terms of who has reighn over the content and governance of the forum, and that is retail investors themselves.

With that being said, this does not mean that our staff would not intervene from time to time to maintain a balance. As some of you may have noticed, close to 30 messages have been removed as a violation from the Patriot HUB in the last 24 hours.

We sincerely hate being put in to this position once more, as we seem to go over the same things every 2 months or so.

We submit to you a excerpt of the message we last posted on the PTSC HUB, and advise everyone that if you next post is a violation to our six rules of use, it will be your last on this website

As of 5 PM today, any messages that contain any of the following will be removed from the forum, and an automatic ban will apply to your profile, until we determine that some normalcy has been restored within this Community.

• Profanity
• Accusations against another poster or group of poster
• Flaming - A post with the intent of enraging a poster or group of posters
• Any questions regarding the moderation of the message board - We've been through this before too many times and any further messages will constitute repetition of the same question and will be deleted on the spot

In addition to the three points above, our standard six rules of use will still apply. You can catch up on that reading here - http://agoracom.com/help-center/six_rules.

On a final note, any questions to AGORACOM, are kindly requested be forwarded to our General Inbox - or you can email us directly at contactagora@agoracom.com.

We understand that many of you are disgruntled about the turn the discussion has taken lateley - and in an effort to restore normalcy to the forum, we shall be imposing bans on posters who have consistently abused our kindness, and our willingness to extend an olive brach to all of you these past few weeks.

We feel that this has been abused, to the detriment of everyone.

Once more we wish to caution everyone that as of 5 PM, we won't be sending out any more warnings - but merely imposing bans on repeat offenders or those who refuse to comply to our six rules of use.

We want the discussion to resume to Patriot and Related issues as soon as possible, and our staff are here to help those who are willing to contribute in accord to our six rules of use and your Community standard.

Thanks again for your attention and for your anticipated cooperation.

Regards,

AGORACOM
