really? well since they've said nothing at all offically... (sorry BB does not count as offical, since as he says he can't actually say anything other than cryptic hints...) then the reason for the thinking is pretty obivous... but hey... all they'd have to do is say something and the questioning would stop..... to easy huh?*

Obviously they're not speaking, quite right. From that you can conclude either they are stupid, or you don't understand everything they're dealing with. Marketing (and commitment) is a tricky thing. Corporate reticence is generally a clue; you have no idea what kind of trouble is possible from speaking too early about plans/efforts/intentions.

For example, if I tell you I'm going to jump the grand canyon on a motorcycle, and then I decide not to because "WTF was I thinking?", I look like a fool. But if I never mention the idea at all, then you don't think less of me when I fail to do it. On the other hand, if I just do the jump, it's all good.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
