Let's analyze the lag, shall we? Guy goes into doctor, he can't get it up. He wants to try Viagra. Dr. gives him 25mg dose and sends him on his merry way. He goes home and gives it a whirl. It doesn't work. He thinks he must have done something wrong. It waits a day or so and tries it again to no avial. So, he makes another appointment with doctor who gives him a higher dosage and the process repeats itself and then the process repeats itself one more time for the 100 mg where either it doesn't work, it works with horrible side effects or some combination of both. (Keep in mind, I am only talking about people Viagra doesn't work for.) This takes time. To see the doctor, to try the drug a few times and then make another appointment with the doctor. We are talking about a few weeks at the minimum, IMHO. If in a few weeks numbers don't look too good, then "Houston, we have a problem." Not disaster, but certainly a little problem, at least as far as 2q numbers are concerned. So, we wait and we see (it wouldn't hurt for those of you religious buffs to do a little praying). Still long, still erect, Colby
