No, I wouldn't say I was comfortable. Come "end of summer" if there isn't anything, I may very well be thinking like you. I just think things take time and Sandy has already pretty much given himself a timetable based on the spring PR and some of the things he has said to Artfink in E-mails.
All summer I have been thinking that the longer this takes the better it will be because TFN will be further along in its quest to go world-wide.
As far as Sandy's salary is concerned, I have been assuming he is paid by TFN, but that can't be proven one way or another since TFN does not give public reports.
I may be blind as a bat, but I'm hoping my radar is functional and I have not given up hope that I will make some (good) money here.
