RE: No reason to get too excited:"nothing suggests that we will have a better year than last based upon contract news so far this year."
Where have you been? New contracts plus renewal of old ones mean that revenue is growing. That plus the hints on future contracts suggests that we may well have a banner year.
No I don't think of you as a basher. It should be clear, however, that someone is indeed holding the pps down, and has been for months. The only thing that is unclear is who and why.
