Actually, your statement that follows was, in a manner speaking a reply to a direct question I had asked Putnam...
``Yes, I imagine we all saw that. Simply means there are no sales yet otherwise the ``expect`` would have been changed to ``will````...
I e-mailed him stating that I knew he could not tell us anything about names of ``Customers`` who were ringing those phones off the walls. But, I asked, could he kindly state if there had been at least one contract signed with one of those prospective customers as of date...
Thus your observation that ``...simply means there are no sales yet,`` is a direct reply to my querry, allbeit in an indirect manner...
