If I have a chip on my shoulder, it's because POET "enthusiasts" showed up for months in multiple stories (or sent private emails) always with the same teasing lead-in or non-question questions.
I've been astroturfed before, Rob. I know what it looks like. It looks like more than a dozen people with similar emails, similar questions, and similar arguments.
The fact that you've shown up here, under a different name, in a forum you don't normally participate in, to specifically comment on my response to a POET enthusiast doesn't demonstrate a chip on my shoulder so much as it illustrates the dogpile mentality that pervades the way you talk about this company.
I don't know if you're formally part of a marketing team, an activist investor trying to drum up support, or just part of a group of people who really, truly, genuinely believe that POET has unique IP that's going to own world+dog in the near future. No matter what the explanation is, you've poisoned the well to the point that yes, I call out POET advocates when I see them.
