Bill:
I agree that there are no rules! I have wanted to say this for about 9 years but never got around to it: I have owned more than one pink sheet stock where the owners would go MONTHS and say NOTHING. They got tired of answering complaints, holding shareholders' hands, or providing updates when in fact nothing was happening.
Oddly, this company spends lots of time and energy explaining things (to whiners like me). The tricky part is where they may have the habit of offering explanations only partially, or in a misleading way, or as a way of buying time for themselves.
I like your sentence "this has to be soon." I will be on a business trip for a week starting Monday and I am thinking of putting in a GTC order in case something actually happens while I am stuck without computer access.
