Bob, looks like you did all that road work for nothing. Richard Harmon must have been wearing his Sunday pants and didn't want to get them dirty. Have to admit though Little Richard is good in the idle gossip category. To: Robert K. (5388 ) From: Richard Harmon Wednesday, Jul 29 1998 11:36AM ET Reply # of 5390 Bob: I answered your question. I said "To answer your question directly...... I don't know". Prophylaxis of sepsis is a more promising ballpark than the venue for previous XOMA efforts, and, as I've said many times and IMO, the trials are well designed and conceived. Let's hope that the results of the trauma trial are positive. You want an answer outside of the context of the company/management, XOMA's current market cap, risk:reward ratio relative to other biotechs, etc. You now have such. I have long traded the issue with marked success, and I hope to continue to do such. Good luck. Rick
