Yes, I hear you Misfits. It's definitely tense/difficult times. I'm very much being cautious in my view on outcome, as no-one can know all parties plans (their is about 8 parties at the table pulling in different directions). IDC somewhat destroyed my confidence.
That being said, I'm reading this as the longer the better i.e. meaning they are talking/negotiating. But what is concerning, if these negotiations break down now, then we have little time to explore other opportunities.
