I couldn't agree more...in fact your explanation is probably what i was trying to convey, this morning, with my first post back to Ron, but just didn't do as good a job as you just did.
It's not that I totally disagree with Ron, that PR isn't needed...it's like you said... too many "what ifs" still out there and no product will draw customers/buyers that will create a supply and demand scenario that we need to push this higher. without settlng those unknowns as quickly as we can.
But it's great to see we all can open up for "agreement to disagree" . If we all said the same thing ,all the time, what a dull place this would be.
And like you said, being an M&S man myself, I have gone back and forth and round and round with our corporate lawyers more than once when it came how and what to market. Just a difference of style and opinion in most cases but we need more of a FINISHED product before we can tout our horn to the marketplace. JMHO.
