(Yes, you've never heard of me. I'm here, every day, lurking. I have quite a few shares. I'm bullish.)

Let's divide folks into two groups. Group A took the drug. Group B took the placebo.

Because of the placebo effect, some in Group B imagined that they improved. "I THINK I'm better." When told that they had been taking the placebo and were offered the real drug, quite reasonably they would think some form of "Yes. I've got nothing to lose."

Wouldn't it follow that those in Group A might continue into the OLE for the same reasons?
"I THINK I'm better."
"All I have to do is take a pill every day."
"There are no other great alternatives."
"It doesn't cost anything."
"I've got nothing to lose."

As much as I would LOVE to think that the folks in Group A are, actually, improved.....I'm not so sure that we can count on that as being the case.

Thanks for your time. I hope I don't regret posting.
