Jonathan, We continue to tell you that the message boards are not the place to get information regarding SPD. It is not easy to understand, it does not just have one application or come in one form. It is a proprietary technology and most information on it is in the hands of licensees. As far as your commenting on the intelligence of our comments, I'm not sure what your point is. You seem to feel that by nature of the fact that you are a doctoral candidate at MIT that somehow that gives you some greater intelligence with which to understand this investment. I learned a long time ago to judge individuals by their actions and words and not their resumes. Might I remind you that the Unabomber Ted Koczinsky (sp?) also had a Ph.D and that the gentlemen who recently ran the Capital Hedge fund into the ground were Nobel prize winners. Most longs on this thread realized a long time ago that the best source for the type of information you are talking about was not available on SI. They have gone directly to licensees, industry experts and the company for clarification. Regarding the patents, I had patent attorneys look at these. I had securities attorneys look at the 10K and you might be amused to know that at first glance they had some of the same reactions you and your father did regarding how long the company had been in operation and the salaries and options. They were used to dealing with the R&D companies here in the Silicon Valley that deal with new software or hardware. It was only when they did more research into what the potential of this technology was and how slow the glass industry is to bring about something new that they then realized that this was not your ordinary R&D situation. Your posts make it very clear to us that you are low on the learning curve. I do not want to insult you but I would rather you did some more due diligence than waste your valuable time trying to start a dialogue with individuals who clearly are not qualified to address any questions you may have regarding the technology and/or the patents. Your best sources are still Mr. Harary, Mr. Saxe and/or Dr. Lampert if you want to know about SPD. Consult a patent attorney regarding the patents. I did and they are rock solid. Make sure you understand just HOW many patents it takes to protect our investment. Hint: It's quite a few less than the 51 we currently have (soon to be 113 when you include the pending - and more to come I'm sure). ND
