Hee, hee, heeeeee..... This is rich.

<<[Touts are] claiming that Schering-Plough would not have given Zonagen money if they didn't beleive [sic] in Vasomax...Schering-Plough's in-house scientists did not study Vasomax....>>

Well, I'm not sure to whom you are referring, but I for one am not claiming this. The point I made and by which I stand is that I find it incredible (in the strictest, most literal sense of the word) that SGP would have given Zonagen millions of bucks without even knowing the ingredients of Vasomax. Do you understand the difference between what I'm claiming and what you reported and why this difference is important? The most recent attack on Vasomax has centered on the composition of Vasomax as though the knowledge of the mere list of ingredients is sufficient for knowledge that the product couldn't possibly work in a manner consistent with reported testing results. If this were true, then don't you think it would have been obvious to SGP that the product was a joke? You claim that SGP didn't study Vasomax in-house- indeed, they did not carry out trials. However, don't you think they at least knew the ingredients of Vasomax? Heck, as Asensio reports, it's publicly available. Or are you actually supposing that SGP is full of a bunch of clowns the silliest of which came to Texas in a tiny yellow Volkswagen (along with three other major pharms, all of whom made comparable offers, as per the most recent CC), and plunked down a few million $ without even bothering to look at the ingredients of the product? And that even after looking at the ingredients, which some apparently think a priori couldn't possibly work, the tall thin driver with the green hair and red nose said, in his most whacky of voices, to the short, fat guy with the purple oversized shoes: "Emmmm, couldn't possibly woik- but give 'em the suitcase o' cash from the back seat so that the ride home will be more comfy- Joe, my knees is a keeeeeeeeellin' me!!!"

Of course I may be wrong, and I'm willing to listen, but trading from the long side in the mean time....
