Gary, thanks for your insight. I've read through at least half of the PTUSA posts, and noted how many heightened hopes gave way to the reality that nothing was going to work. Getting stung ain't easy. In my view, stinging back is worse, because then it only goes on. Better to live and learn, as you've expressed you've done with your mutual funds.

I'd be interested if you could do a pro/con analysis of both NETZ and PTUSA. We can start by saying that Hayton was at the top of PTUSA, whereas he's buried deep in the background of NETZ, as an advisor to investors. If I recall correctly, you're the first person whose posted here--except for maybe sMartin, and possibly SwampFox, I think--whose been though the whole Hayton experience.

Can you describe what is similar and what is different? I'm assuming, of course, that you're up to speed on everything concerning NETZ. If you did this, it will help provide us all a better understanding of what happened then, and what is happening now.

For example NETZ may have something going for it today that PTUSA did not then. I, personally, would like to know of these distinctions.

I ask you to do this, of course, knowing that my present position is clear: I believe that there is seasoned--not inexperienced (was Hayton inexperienced, for example?)--leadership in the manner of Steve Lair, Kevin Rogers, et. al., at the top. Notwithstanding prior attempts, by some posters, to discredit Zulu technology, I see a live product with a marketing force for delivery (ad journals have testified previously to this). On top of which, there already exist the very best kind of clients any company anywhere in the world can have.

More comparative questions include: Did PTUSA have as impressive of a clientele as NETZ does? Who were the PTUSA customers? Were big-name utility companies adversaries of PTUSA? What big-time utility company, during Hayton's tenure, backed the very idea of alternative energy? Did acquired components of PTUSA enjoy recognized status such as NETZ's Softbank Marketing Interactive? So many questions, I could ask a million of 'em.

If you could do this comparison, I think many of us would find it helpful. Thank you very much, in advance.
