<..Why the forceful conclusion that Hirsch must be a naif, a manipulator, or an outright liar?..> Since this misguidance was wholly unnecessary -- Why NOT just allow (4 and then 2 weeks ago) the proffered possibility that negotiations MIGHT extend into the second Q? Why maintain the tighter guidance? <..Why is it a ding against Hirsch if a last-minute offer shows up?..> Who says a last minute offer showed up? Did Hirsch? McCambridge? Laura? The very recent public spin has been that it was just a matter "crossing Ts and dotting Is". <..Why is it so hard to believe?..> It was unnecessary. <..Why rush to judgement ("He's got one strike in a two strike at-bat") when the facts aren't yet known?..> Under the best of circumstances, it was unnecessary. <..WADR, I genuinely don't understand why you or your contacts would take such umbrage as has been displayed in your recent posts...> Because it was unnecessary (are you getting my point?) funny (though not particularly relevant) Dilbert.
