Yes, it’s a pain. IBM and DDN are trying very hard to work something out, but 
it’s hard to get all the ‘I’s dotted and ‘T’s crossed with our respective legal 
and exec reviewers so that when we do say something it will be complete, clear, 
and final; and not require long, baroque threads for people to figure out where 
exactly they are…



I wish I could say more, but I need to respect the confidentiality of the 
relationship and the live discussion.



In the meantime, I thank you for your patience, and ask that you not believe 
any rumors you might hear, because whatever they are, they are wrong (or at 
least incomplete). In this situation, as a wise man once observed, “those who 
Say don’t Know; those who Know don’t Say”.
