griz,
We're all trying to figure out as much as we can from what little hard information is available. Maybe it's all futile, in vain, or simply doesn't matter in the end, but it's hard to be invested and not try. And one major advantage of message boards like these is the combining of information and thoughts that often produce better results than any of us could achieve on our own. Even if it's only being prodded to think by foolish questions!

BTW- Much of this conversation would be unnecessary if Kodiak would provide us with more frequent and substantial updates. Lack of information makes everyone a bit edgy.
