Hey arch -
I tried to tell everybody back in my first post (12342) that logicall, BIGN wouldnt be releasing press releases during the time of the negotiations of the LOIs for exactly the reason you state here.
I said "Continuing on this line of reasoning, it further follows that a paucity of press releases would accompany the attempt to keep the LOI deals separate. After all, if you pop press releases in abundance informing a party with whom you are negotiating that there are things of considerable value that they could demand as part of the deal, it would be logical that BIGN would release few, if any, meaningful press releases during the timeframe during which negotiations are underway."
I'm vain just like everybody else so somehow its just pleasing to read your post and realize that I at least got that part of it right.
Sounds like you had a real heart to heart and I'm delighted by the tone of your post.
Keep your armour on. You've got many enemies on this board.
