mktiggerman, I'm not doubting what you were told for one second. I'm also not doubting that the manager was relaying info that he/she thought to be true. And, I know that keeping Spectro going is clearly the right (and smart) thing to do. But, I'm not going to set myself up for disappointment. I'll continue to hold out hope that Spectro continues to run, but I've heard too many reports of otherwise. I, too, am hoping that your information proves to be true. Thanks very much for the report.
