LOL Calm down bud. No, I wont leave. No, I am not 'negative' (perhaps just more of a realist) and yep I want this to come out and for it to be a success like most others do. I just thought ppl would know by now not to take seriously absolute rumours and hearsay, like when someone says 'somebody knows somebody who heard from somebody else on another forum in a language we don't understand say that maybe possibly there's a teeny weeny tiny chance that we could hear something before the holidays'. For many here that seems to mean 'OH MY GOD WE'RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAINLY FOR SURE GONNA HEAR ABOUT THIS BY CLOSE OF WORKING HOURS DECEMBER 24TH!' - come on, guys. There is optimism, which is great, and then there is blind optimism. Sitting clicking the refresh button at 16.59 on the Friday afternoon before Christmas believing there was definitely going to be a press release from Fidia before the holidays was bonkers.
Anyone who has suffered through the majority of these 332 pages like I have (yep, I'm THAT desperate too - you got me) should know to take everything we've heard so far with a pinch of salt, be it the word of this 'Beps' character or especially any 'dates' (such as before or after the holidays...) which people seem to pull out of thin air at times. If these kind of comments are to be believed, we were to have heard from the company before the LAST holidays...then the day they come BACK from the holidays...then it was pushed to the NEXT set of holidays...now people will no doubt be expecting a press release at 9.01 am on the first day back from the Christmas break. Maybe if that doesn't come we'll be playing this game again come Easter.
When Fidia are ready to tell us what is what, they will tell us what is what. Of course speculation and chat is fun, that's what a lot of people are here for. I just don't like to see the new people coming here being mislead about when they can expect definite information when the fact is that none of us actually really know anything but some folks act like they do and rumours are gospel.
That all being said, let's hope 2017 is a great year for us baldies, and best of luck to the folks at Fidia and everywhere else around the world working on potential treatments!
