Having just gotten thru the raft of messages from

Having just gotten thru the raft of messages from this weekend and morning, seems to me this is just a timing issue. TC questions are legitimate, but since nobody (except maybe Joe) knows the whole inside story, they may not be well timed. There may be many additional pieces that have not been put into play in the whole Veneto acquisition, so questioning the value paid now is premature. I think Joe cannot tell us what else he knows because it is currently not public info, and therefore gets frustrated when TC continues to offer what was said at the last CC as the basis for the renegotiated deal. Joe has said it's a new deal, so everything prior to that is moot. And does anybody here believe Joe is not smart enough to negotiate a good deal for shareholders, based on what he's done over the last 6 months?

Table these questions until we know more about Veneto, its actual revenues and its ability to grow. If we're in the same position in 6 months that we are in now (no real knowledge of revenues or expansion plans), then there is legitimate concern and the questioning is appropriate. But right now, it reads as if the questions are just "gotcha" type questions for the guy that resurrected GNBT (even though we know TC is not trying to do that - but at least to me, they do "read" that way).
