ItsMyOtion, Good for you, that's what I have always admired about you, you don't mince words!
I shall wait until Alice's Appeal time Expires before I get concerned. If I were in charge I wouldn't make a move until I knew that issue was dead. Either the LT and Underwriter's find a way to appease Alice or the LT will be extended for a "short" period of time IMO. For all I know it may already be settled.
It's hard to believe there is only 9 more days allotted for the LT to close. We shall see, and as Mike Willingham once said, "don't hold your breath"
