A lot of familiar faces on this board are setting a modestly low bar for the call Thursday. I suppose we've seen it before. I am rather optimistic about getting some result data because there simply is no reason to even have a call if we aren't. Of course, I felt that way a few times before and was disappointed about a wasted call that provides fodder for the bears, so we'll see if our CEO has learned anything lately. It hasn't even been a month since the "lawsuit call" that provided no relevant updates and simply served as an opportunity for a fragile ego to defend himself while on the shareholder clock.

Here's to a saving the world on Thursday.
