A couple of people, who occasionally post here, are of the same opinion about the DA already being inked, so you definitely aren't alone.
I agree completely that CLX wouldn't allow a perceived association to continue if there weren't one. We have all been told, ad nausem, that they are not legally obligated to report the end of the proposed RM, and it's true. But IMO there is no way that they'd allow the hit to their reputation if they allowed people to continue believing they were proceeding with PASO. And just let one CLX insider sell one share of stock and it would be seen as collusion.
