Yes, this is a new development, but nothing to be concerned over from my perspective....QMC has his tasks covered & Art will do just fine, especially when his nestegg of QTMM shares hatches...we wish Art good-fortune. Just a semi-educated guess, but I figure he was made-redundant (if you'll pardon the term) by the addition of Sri , who is also a 'marketer' by-profession , yet with a much higher profile & the connections that come with it...a virtual whos-who of the nanotech industry. And there's no point in having '2' marketing managers in the same small company. I wouldn't expect Art to go into any detail explaining this, & he certainly isn't under any obligation to do so. He is still, no doubt, restricted on his comments by disclosure regulations. Art had foreseen this & was prepared for this eventuality...a few years ago he predicted (to me privately) that he'd be replaced at some point by a higher profile marketeer...one that can run with the BigBoys, as validated in Sris' official profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peruvemba
