RE:Temptation bites This is a lot like marriage. It takes two parties to end up married but only one to end up divorced. Management can no more force RIO to the table than RIO can force them. However if Managemnt does not play nice, RIO can just walk away, which they haven't. From what I know about acquisitions, there is ALOT going on that we do not know about and management cannot tell us. That's goes for with RIO and any other potential suitors. I agree with Sooner that a huge part of this problem is that Dale set unrealistic expectations with his comments. We, and the market reacted and now we and the market are reacting to it not happening as described. I think his statements were likely correct except for the timeline.
