*However: if the made-up story at least sounds plausible, then it therefore follows that it must be true.

That's also the nice thing about any 'conspiracy theory' too, the assertions only have to thread through the facts without logical contradictions in order for the said theory to be valid :)

I said earlier that I admired your optimism Robert and I should have qualified that  by saying your 'reasoned' optimism because you've undoubtly shown that there are good reasons to believe that all will continue to be well with the fate of Poser.

I think however that there are enough dark clouds on the horizon to at least be concerned that this sale may not bode well for the long term fate of Poser.

We'll just have to wait and see after all :)
