You might not even realise it but you have said nothing positive about this announcement whatsoever

"it is not a bad deal"
"it is just a business as usual deal"
"there is nothing wrong with this announcement"

Then buried in dredged up qualifications regarding the past, Steve Carter and even "if Phillips was mouthing off to people that this was his significant achievement......." For the record, he was not "mouthing off" just said (when asked) that he'd hoped to have one deal across the line by the meeting but did not describe it as a "significant achievement".

They don't seem allowed to move on. Let them.

This is a good deal and, hopefully, one that will contribute toward a critical mass. A $100K deal doesn't mean we missed a $1M deal.

This is more validation of our tech, more spreading of the name, a bit of cash and, importantly, funded development.

It's a good deal
