I dont really think optimism has dwindled. Well a little but I think the mojority of people on this board are still believers until proven otherwise. The real cause of the problem  cannot really be blamed on MRS. IMO they r just trying to make sure that everything that was said has a modicum of truth to it. IMO WWF has not stated anything that is not fact. Just that the fact is almost larger than life. Therefore the caution on the part of TSX in resuming trading. I thing over the next two weeks we are all going to be overflowing with optimism again and all will be well in the tranches
