From what I've read here about Brad it appears he has some pretty deep pockets. If so it would be great if he would finance any equipment acquisitions (or whatever) out of his own pocket, or obtain financing without going the 1000/1 route.  I doubt many stockholders would be happy with any dilution.  We longs have taken enough of a beating because of the actions of Geo and Bob, however, are now obviously at the mercy of Brad and the current BOD (whoever they are). It would be great to somehow believe they truly have the best interests of the stockholders in mind.  Hopefully something positive will come out of the trials.
