Curt, I hear you. As you know from my recent posts I felt it important for Wilson to let us know EXACTLY what is going on in the domestic partner negotiations. This brought on some sharp critisizm (eg Edderd) from those who felt that since Vivus is currently negotiating with multiple partners it is in their best interest not to divulge ANY information since it can hurt more than help the negotiations. I have to agree with this point in the sense that revealing information may on one hand appease the share holder's appetite for knowledge but may hurt the actual negotiations. So you have to decide....what is more important--appeasing us share holders in the short run at the cost of potentially jepordizing negotiations or keeping quiet for the sake of the negotiations themselves and in interests of the long run? Opinions?
