Good morning Born,
I know it's a disappointment to some here, but I really do think we are better off with the announcement happening after the holidays.
As far as the time frame, I have this gut feeling that we will see this happen sooner than later. I think one of the reasons they brought everyone together at that last meeting in China was to expedite the paperwork. Plus Kevin staying an extra week, plus the last announcement of creating the position of COO. I could be wrong, but I think we might get a pleasant surprise in Jan. JMO :-)
