jrubinst- What else could they say? Of course, nothing is definite until the actual signature is on paper, so they have to use 'potential' and 'interest' as terms. They have no choice.

I am interested in having lunch today. I can't say for certain that i will until it is done. See my point.

This is one of the more positive news release i have seen- glad you bought today. I am tempted to buy more but one could say I am already fully invested (and then some).
