Not taking this personally. I felt bad about having pushed to get others to understand Giroir was the one who picked BPI for meningoccemia. As we all knthere are countless things it could be tried on. Was feeling thatwhat I had said (know you got your info from another source), had backfired.

Yes it was the old management that did not pay attenion to protecting intelectual property. Long time ago I was told by Ellen Martin that one of the first things done by Scannon was to change this. Take a look at all the patents.

While I do not know the science like you do I do have some smarts in the maagement area. This is a good management team. They are not about to give BPI away. Their recent financing deal was well done. They do a much better job of communicating with Stockholders than many other cos.

I am not agaist negative post and don't want to fall into the habit of just jumping to Xoma defense when it is not warranted. I wish they would not use terms like "shortly" when they say they are going to do something. I also requested one poster from 1996 months ago and did not get it. I am concerned that statements say the DSMB can stop a trial if results are bad or IF RESULTS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. Yet were told not to read anything into the test not being stopped. Sorry-- if the one statement is true then it means not stopping means at least that the results were not incredibly good. So yes I have ome concerns but this is not the time to get discouraged. We are seeing minds being changed about Xoma as we post.
