That's fair.  And I know you've be contributing posts - many of them very thoughtful and insightful - for years.  Are you not able to share some of these discussions that you've had?  Is there a conflict of interest or are you bound by confidentiality for certain reasons.

I want to believe that there's an end in sight in the near future.  But I've been burned far too many times in the past with promises by management that things were in the works in the near future.  I would be absolutely over-the-moon thrilled to be proven wrong in this instance.
