Ann: Letter from the Interim CEO, page-103

Hey Russ,

I understand the intent of your post was probably to state a couple the unknowns to show that there are many which have not been fully addressed (which I agree with). Also imo I agree (barring additional breakthrough news) that traffic guard won't solve our current main risk ie. Need for cash in the short term however thought I would add some info on a couple of the examples that you raised from my understanding:

I believe traffic guard is only a few lines of code and a hyperlink redirect. My understanding is that it is not cumbersome to integrate or run and it more or less is separate to the users software. Note I only have a high level overview of this and as I don't have a software background I havent probed to get the ins and outs of how exactly it works but that's how I recall it working.

There are safeguards for protecting real transactions where suspect traffic is assessed to ensure that it is truly not legitimate traffic before blocking the transaction.

I believe the patent will stop people being able to steal the code, however I have asked for an explanation on how this system is unique from other fraud traffic blocking software. I actually never thought it was until they started saying that it is being patented and unique etc.

I agree with you however in the near term what we need is more revenue from the marketing division just to stop the bleeding.
