"Who said anything about ruling anything out at any point??"

I did... but perhaps you were rather quick to misread my use of the word "you". Perhaps I should have used the word "one", though people seldom use that anymore.

"I am pretty sure I said "unlikely", and given the number of holes (100+)"

Yes I believe you did and I also intimated that could be given the present circumstances. I find you a bit too defensive and quick to come to arms about what people are trying to say. Most thoughts on this forum are speculation and peoples best thoughts based on the information they have, mixed with a lot of emotional spin. Try not to take yourself so seriously... or for that matter other peoples opinions. Take what may be valuable if anything and leave in peace. Offer what you have, but don't always expect adulation or agreement.
