A goal is a goal.

A timeline attached to a goal is a way to measure if ahead, on time or behind schedule.

Their plan was to achieve all of the goals in 12 months.

Look how long everything takes, step by step, at the USPTO...is that red tape EDIG's fault? LOL...please...not you BLR.

I say "so what" because to me it's more important to achieve the goal than get all hot and bothered that it did not come to fruition in the planned time frame.

I guess if Fred had of named the slide 18 to 24 month goals, we'd not complain...shame on Freddy!!!

A NUNCHI deal in hand later than 12 months?

Fine with me as long as it happens.
