I'm confused. Will someone please explain how test conducted 20 years ago and failed merger plans have anything to with the price of eggs in China today? I could go on for hours about deals that MATERALIZED for me 20 years ago and you would still know nothing of what I can or could do today. Now, if you have made millions or billions of dollars in the meantime with the products being discussed, I would have a mild interest from a historical point of view. But, if investing in your company has cost me thousands, it is at best irritating.
