Never trust a poster with info from management!
Haha, yes it depends on the messenger I guess, but Tully, I have nothing but appreciation for your and Kip's efforts in contacting RLE directly, and then going to the trouble of reporting those conversations here. While I may not completely believe (nor disbelieve) some of the info that management have told you, I have no doubt that you've both reported your conversations accurately.
Ideally I'd prefer to see this information released in an official announcement, though.
