If, and I say "if", there is a deal in the mix, and I'm one of those who believes there is a deal, it can take weeks to finalize the details and then engage the lawyers who may have concerns that require some back and forth. Then they need to run it by both boards to get their approvals. If we don't hear anything for another month, then I may agree with you that the odds are getting low.
