xrouter, I'm sorry you took my comment as an attack, gentle or otherwise. I'm not critical of your $20pps, I absolutely believe under a specific and unlikely set of circumstances that could be achieved in the next couple years or sooner. I just don't see ONCS being willing to do so. If a company was willing to make a $6B buyout offer, I think they would be equally willing to make a series of $500m licensing deals. Where you see all the ex Merck people setting up for a buyout, I see it as a sign that they won't do so. But we can agree to disagree on that for now. Regardless of our opinions, things will be what they will. GLT
