I have no idea. But when all that you know comes from threads on BB&B, then you may or may not really "know."
We have great posters with great information. And if you post here awhile (as you have) you get a pretty good feel for who is likely to have inside info about this or that.
But confirmation on this kind of thing is hard to come by. The whole story is even harder to get. I'm just cautious about what I'm willing to state as fact based on unverifiable posts.
It may very well be that this contract existed and was sent to us and sat around on a desk and wasn't signed for some bad reason and somebody really screwed up for no good reason. It's certainly possible.
