not enough time for a deal to be signed?

I think you are all forgetting that most people don't spend every waking hour glued to hot copper to see what other speculators come up with... OBJ and 3M (and GSK/FMCG-X) have been working their ar$es off during these 60 days so I wouldn't be surprised if we do get an announcement with some sort of strategic direction.

3M are engaged in this process daily all over the world so they have the process down pat! If they asked for 60 days extension, my feeling is they only needed 50-55 and any extra days left over they will use to double check and tripple check (ie: crossing their t's and dotting their i's if you like).

Stick to your guns - there is proven evidence this product (which is patented and so cannot be ripped off by 3M or any other company for that matter otherwise there will be dramatic consequences legally) is 10 times more effective and 90% more cost effective than competing products.

I hold and await the ann enthusiastically!
