Doug, obviously catani can speak for himself, and already has. But it's worth a little more discussion.
We could talk about what "no sales" really means...to catani it means "no sales to speak of".."no sales compared to what we were expecting"... and so on. That's the communication disconnect. But there's also a perception disconnect.
Perception, as we know, derives from our beliefs. Your belief may be that this last small sale is the first of many, perhaps one a week, that will be coming out of the pipeline as soon as the pipeline matures. Catani's belief may be that we've all been duped by one promise after another after another, and this small sale is all that was really there. So, from the same event, you perceive progress and catani perceives stagnation.
I suspect that this later contributes more to the debate than the former.
