Believe me I understand, I've been here since 1999.

"have become disallusioned, and hardened, because things have not progressed like we had hoped."

My comments here are, during the past say roughly a year. There has been more progress than the last 10years combined IMO.

- Re-examination successes

- Outsourcing Handle, IPmetrics and others,

- Filing Crazy number of lawsuits.

- Settling Crazy number of lawsuits.

- Winning Apple Settlement within what 8 months or so? Apple, naysayers thought never.

- New patents - Micro Signet - Nunchi

- Followers increasing more than ever

- etc etc etc.

The old timers like us should undoubtedly be excited because of these accomplishments in such a short period of time compared to past 10 years.

Things are happening, They are happening quickly and thats all we can ask in comparison.

Fred got the ball rolling with Handal and we should all appreciate the last year more than any other.

outside of the 2000 run :)

GLTA.

Good things are happening. yes indeed.
