I can understand the impatience onthe stockholders part to some extent but we are not in the position of doing the deal making and regardless of size of company it can be tedious and take a lot of time especially when you're dealing with a company whose decision could impact a lot of lives if the product doesn't work properly, their employess aren't trained to use it properly, or if they feel making their progress known publicly can somehow be used as an advantage by terrorists. It's not as cut and dried as we'd like to think.
