aposteriori---thx for your input---to simplify the conversation i had with Altona----"if Xstrata walks away ---the offer that they make will not become public knowledge---it is in line with being of a commercially confident situation"

If you were selling your house by auction and had it valued,im sure you wouldnt have a sign on display for potential buyers to use as a starting point.
