Actually, it's quite remarkable how exhuberant expectations can be quashed by "them" (ie. the manipulators) taking the SP back to a quarter. The manipulation quite conditions us to being overly ecstatic with a bid which we previously would've thought ridiculously low, huh? We hope that this "funny business" is not what is happening here -- you know, lowered expectations so that we're happy with less.

It does beg the question -- what can a rag-tag band of retailers do (even united) that Telus can't with regards to legal recourse?

Not saying that this is what is happening, hoping that it's not -- just finding myself gettin' crankier as this draaaags on and on and on. As Johnny stated already, how does March 6 become March 9 -- what's next?

More beer for now, I guess, lol -- glad I haven't mortgaged the farm here, but hoping for all our sakes that I'll be wishing that I did.
