If the company follows the majority of previous milestone achievement announcements, it will be after the date to be accomplished. So anything that is completed as projected, we should expect the accouncement in January. It may say something to the effect of, "on (insert date), completion of milestone x was achieved." So pour the egg nog, break out the shortbreads (the cookies people!!!!! Sick minds, all of you!!.....oh wait, that's sweet breads. Oops. maybe that's just me. Sorry) and relax till the new year. Take care all. Derekwpg
