I agree, Sam.

If when this is all over, our major criticism of Tim Stephens is that he underestimated the time things would take, and that he was over-zealous in predicting the time to coordinate the widely (and wildly) differing interests and egos of at least three governments, one huge international corporation, one on-the-edge-of-survival e&d company, and numerous highly paid law firms, then we all ought to end up pretty happy.

We've got to be patient and give Tim some "space" and hope that the delays this time are to allow positive things to unfold. From the past couple of weeks of stock price movement, it would appear that at least someone else appears to think so also.

I remain cautiously optimistic, but not unprepared for the oft-gotten reality slap. The one thing that keeps me from thinking that we're not quite at "the very edge" yet, is that so far we haven't fallen over.<gg>

Sam, the reason I mentioned this, is that according to my memory, Mr. Stephens said he would give us an update, even if it was to say nothing has been decided. Of course, we can all assume that anyway, and I am sure if I called Mr. Stephens that is what he would tell me. Anyway, I will be gone for five weeks. Maybe by the time I return we will know something. I do like the action of the stock lately.
