The reason I picked and styed with ATHR symbol here was the "A" and that nobody objected to it. Tried a different "A" symbol and somebody did. Perfect would be AAA :) As for ATHR and "calling" it, I used to own and also make some money on ATHR in the past but this time I had zilch, so :( BTW, quite amazing that a deal like this can come together without anything leaking out (Assange, where were you?). Ought to have been at least aro 6-10 people involved in the negotations, I guess. The ATHR CFO Jack Lazar is a real clever smartass, must now have come out with a bundle. This deal IMO carries his prints and we will no doubt see him again somewhere, not the type to reast on and enjoy his money. Expect him to pop us as the CEO this time and/or COB at some spectacular start up, read my lips on that. /Taro
