"let's all get together and cut off our noses to spite our faces.....we'll show them and burn our investment to the ground....that'll teach em'!"

That sarcastic sentiment that we would only be hurting ourself by getting rid of BG might make sense if he actually had a deal ready to go and we were pulling the rug out from under him. Were that only so! But the truth is- he ain't got noth'in. Don't you think we would have heard at least a little something if he did? I know there is the necessity of keeping things under wraps until a deal is concluded and an official material statement can be put out. And putting out fluff is not helpful. But we haven't heard anything. Other than about the 2 failed efforts- (Prospects One and Two again.) The approach is all wrong. Attracting smaller partners is by definition a noisy process. And I think we would be hearing at least some rumblings. Holding out for the the biggest fish- not so much. And we've seen where that's gotten us. To attempt to do so once again amounts to swinging too big for the fences and ending up with Strike Three. And you know what that means.
