The only thing I have to say about any of the conversation going on over the past 2 days is this:
I spoke to Les on the morning the screening halt was discovered on the German site. He was very insistent (and beyond frustrated) on saying that once again NWBO was in a situation where good news was being turned into bad. he did not elaborate, but for me this was as telling as any possible scenarios that have been brought up in this discussion. I'll leave it at that.
