Sula, be fair, don't you think that the over-the-toppers ("OTT") repeat stuff just as frequently as the glums. And so far, frankly, the glums have reason to be glum, just as OTTer's have reason to be OTT.
News only satisfies many on this forum for a very short time. The principal reason for that, is that the darn share price doesn't march northward. I feel strongly that if this stock were to have a run even half as powerful as it did in the two months or so prior to the EC, "no news" would take a back seat.
Taking it to the absurd, what if we got an update everyday, and they kept saying, "not there yet, still experimenting, still refining, going to take more time, can't say how much," "still considering deals, haven't inked one yet," or "Surresh really can't handle hot spice as well as he'd like to think." We'd be up to date, and even worse off than we are now. But the former two examples are very much what I think is going on, the third is more of a longshot.
