Like you, I thought that by now we would have heard something.  Yet, logic still seems to support that there is something positive going on that we simply can't know yet for the reasons that have been discussed aplenty.  Perhaps the final details are being ironed out on a deal, or perhaps negotiations collapsed altogether after even the board members lent their own money.  Perhaps a possible deal expanded or contracted and required more time to negotiate the changes.  There is just so much that we can't know at this point, and that does lead, of course, to lots of frustration and speculation.  As for me, I still hold some optimism but could certainly be disappointed in the end.
