Chris, if there's a preannouncement, they'll make it, I'm sure. After all the tumult of this year, they'll have any announcement in the bag. And I don't suggest that we should see a positive preannouncement just to boost the stock, I'm speculating that it would be nice if a preannouncement was more or less required due to better-than-expected earnings. As you know, upside surprises can be unsettling too, and I think ADPT (with Adler back at least in the wings) will do its best to get analyst expectations in line with actual numbers. So my point was simply that it would be nice to see earnings in Jan. that are better than we expect now, thus necessitating a preannouncement or other analyst guidance.
