Lane, thank you. You picked up on the "frequent mentions of investors" as I did. Not only is it "non sequitur" on this list, it's simply bad form and out of line.
James: PTTools is (through Jeroen and I) an active commercial participant on this list and there are others. Our business dealings are of no concern to the advancement of the science this list supports. Nor have I see others expose their business dealings here. Where PTTools' business might affect the list, we have done our best to work with the team to lighten their load. If all your ranting about broken moses is about justifying your claims to investors, you and your attitude are way out of line! If I were to step out of line like this, I would hope someone here would call me on it and finally sensor me if I continue down that path.
