You are a little more plugged in on the "drama" than me, so I won't pretend to know better. I would be surprised if this is theater, but we will know more when we see what comes of this. Some above said earlier that he heard they were close to an agreement. We will see if this comes true. If it does, then we can see what changes have been agreed to in order to determine whether this was theater!
Thanks for the reply yourself and thanks for the kind words to others on my post!
