How do you know JB has returned? Maybe he has been invited to make additional presentations. Maybe he is in the inititial stages of negotiations with a potential partner and is still in the Middle East. Maybe he just doesn't have anything he can say at the moment, whether he is Tucson or Jeddeh.

If you insist on knowing whether or not JB has returned, ask the company, not the message board.

Besides, and like I keep saying, you will not hear anything special about the trip other than that the presentations went well, and that follow-ups continue. There is nothing more to be said at this time!

Is this really the sort of update you want to hear, because you believe that no news is bad news? Really? If so, then the issue is with you, not the company, at least in my opinion.

I'm looking for that update that says a deal in principle has been reached, and details will soon follow. That could take weeks. Meanwhile, stop holding your breath. You'll feel better.
