I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on the thread yet, but I just received my April 6th TIME, and there is an article under Medicine called "Cross-Gender Sex Pill" The article itself is about Viagra and the it's potential use in women as well as men. There is an inset in the middle of the article titled "Impotence Drugs in the Works for Women" It lists the following in this order: Viagra, Vasomax, Spontane, Prostaglandin creams. For Vasomax, it states the following: Vasomax (phentolamine): Oral version of an approved injectable drug. Dilates blood vessels to increase flow. Male trials are near completion in the U.S.; female trials are planned. Brad

Dauntless, Viagra COULD be recalled, there's just no reason to think that will happen right now. Vasomax COULD be approved ten months after Zonagen's filing, but there's not enough reason for me to think that will happen right now. If and when Zonagen files there can be requests for more studies or a rejection. There are a lot of clouds over the efficacy of the drug. And before you run around blaming any questioning on the "shorts" I have to say that I haven't seen this kind of questioning on a lot of other drugs, even though there are always shorts. You're putting the cart before the horse. With few exceptions, as in the case of very high players, most people GO short because they feel the company is going to fail. They don't GO short intending to cause the company to fail. You call names at me, claiming I have to be short and trying to dismiss my thoughts on that basis, but you just have the whole process backwards. Linda
