Thank you for clearing that up.  We (SOT) realized that this was NOT a "self-serving post for advertising purposes" - which is why we left the thread on the forum.  You have my apologies for not stepping in to clear that up.  The post just came at a time when someone else had posted under a fictitious name to try to cleverly disguise an obviously self-serving post.  Now, people are bit leery about some of the posts on the forum, which is understandable.

I appreciate your input and background on the company.  Please apologize to Balaji for me, also.  We appreciate input on this forum from different points of view and there is a communication gap when it comes to technology companies and abstractors.  We hope to use SOT to educate both sides of the issues so that everyone will better understand what is going on in the industry, and how these things affect everyone.

Thanks again,
Robert A. Franco
