Agree, agree, agree Tree. And Hession once said something like, "I will not hold negotiations in a public forum." We've heard what we'll hear until it is announced. Hession knows the real deadline and so does CC and the rest of the IPI investors. It's in time for the deal to close with Total and get license extensions from DPE. If CC decided to play hardball, he saw the Jan 31 comment and is pressing it hoping to get Hession to cave. Won't happen. Like you say, the real deadline is what will bring resolution. Negotiating is not a one-party process.
