Sadly there seems fewer and fewer folks interested, if the numbers of messages posted in theis forum is any indication. I'm sure there are plenty of lurkers, however we've heard so many times that the bid has been submitted, the bid has been approved/received/won/ contracts submitted/same list of adjetives, that the continuing claims of a sale about to happen are starting to draw less and less interest. Since CEI has made this latest claim, I figure that the UK announcement of yet another victory in the bidding wars is only a day or two away. I think perhaps that the UK and CEI have become like the boy who cried wolf. They've made so many announcements so many times, that people are beginning to ignore them. As it stands, I'd be happy if they just went away, and when/if they ever manage to do a deal, they come back and let us know. I realize there is some lag time, but the famous fax was supposed to come monday, then tuesday. At this writing it is 7:45pm on the east coast, with no word from anyone about CEI faxes to dealers with an update. Story beginning to sound familiar?
