Ann: Business Proposal , page-17

Hi Keeting,

I didn't say that it would be PPY who would do something about it. There is no patented technology involved. Its easy to chop up outer sheath material and press it into a coffin mould and I (and others) can tell anyone how to make banana stem veneer without using PPY's technology.

Someone with access to banana stem material and a willingness to try something new could invest a few thousand dollars to make it work!

PPY doesn't seem to be interested in anything except revenue raising.
