"p s, by any chance did you mention the USPTO reexaminations to those attorneys?? "

That is a vague question? I did discuss the re-exam's with all 3 patent attorneys so that they fully understod the situation, and all 3 stated that the it was VERY unlikely that the stay had anything to do with the re-exams, and if they did, it would have been stated in the stay request. Hope that helps. Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
