Michael: Good point. Even a report direct from a company is going to be translated two different ways by two different people. I try to supply direct quotes whenever possible. However, I will still paraphrase the company rather than go back to notes - and that can sometimes lead to confusion and inacuracies. We should probably be more aware of our own frailties when it comes to interpretations. Hell, loose interpretations have started wars. Wally

Mike, Peep, I'm sorry if I am coming off too harsh. It is frustrating to me if people who are trying to get a good handle on what is going on based on DD with the company and the PR arm of the company seem to come up with quite varying opinions as to when there will be news. If someone says that they heard (from where?) that the fourth quarter was going to be the BIG quarter for news, and now we hear that the next SEVERAL quarters will be the time frame for news, this to me is not simply people offering different opinions, it is people getting very, very different or very, very inaccurate information from their "sources". I love to hear opinions, but let them clearly be opinions and state them as such when we talk time lines for specific events. To imply that any time line is accurate and/or represents a company objective just sets all of us up for disappointment when it is not achieved. Peepster, opinions are fine. And I have appreciated yours, Wally's and other opinions greatly. Off the cuff remarks are fine also if stated as such. One thing a thread like this should offer is the chance to express opinions. But stated timelines are usually based on someone getting what is assume to be fairly good information, not making a guess. Again, this is not a final reflection on FNTN as a company or the general accuracy and honesty of all of your fine DD which you have generously shared here with all of us. It is a desire that when people post a time line they offer it clearly as an opinion so that those who read this thread don't put undue weight on the expectation that the timeline is a company promise.
