Come now, Mike-
<<...I am not interested in doing your homework. >>
Do you really think that my request for you to give the source for your dramtic claim was asking you to do our homework? Gosh, I would have thought that it would have been easy for you to have provided a reference wherein these remarkable figures are cited; in fact, if there were a solid basis to these numbers, it should have been a lot simpler to source your claim rather than taking the time to craft the reply that you in fact gave. I wasn't looking for much, just something that would be verifiable by the rest of us, so that we might indeed carry on with our own homework; just a few simple words, perhaps something like "Press Release of Nov. ___", "Conference Call for quarter ___", "Company filing on form 8-K over on Edgar", "Business Week interview with Nabisco marketing manager from ___", "Bloomberg report on GUMM CEO's presentation to investors dated ___", etc.; you get the idea. I dare say that citing a source like this would have been a lot easier to do than crafting the reply you actually gave- provided, that is, that there was in fact something solid on which to make your claim, and not merely some wild eyed conjecture presented as a done deal.
Remember your words: <<... Nabisco, the world's 2d largest producer of gum, [is] going to pay GUMM $50M to manufacture jointly developed products next year>>.
