Sortof, Dave. Some of the causative agents of liver cancer, like pollution and the various forms of hepatitis, are increasing in frequency. It is very conceivable that a company working in the hepatic area would pay a fee and royalties for Thymitaq. It is also conceivable that JT would license it, simply because they are in Asia where liver disease is more common. I think that Peter Johnson was in the position of a man with a beloved rusted pickup truck on the lawn, facing a disapproving wife and ongoing costs for insurance. Under those circumstances, selling the sucker gets it off your lawn, gives you a few bucks, and allows you to sleep indoors every night. (This last is a personal goal, now that Winter has come.)

<<To: Steve Fancy (3231 ) From: David S. Tuesday, Dec 9 1997 12:07AM EST Reply # of 3258 given the fact that amgen totally blew it's early lead in biotech, and has suffered, I guess it's a "value play". But then, a value today that's a value tomarrow and the next day and the next...is no great value. Maybe Mr. Johnson will license Thymitaq out to Scott's fertilizer company for use on golf courses. Ounces per acre?>> David S. thanks so much for the above post. As always your contributions are appreciated, at least by me. But if you oould permit one question, please.... were you trying to convey anything or did you just want to make sure your modem was working?
