Geoff,
Never; you're the eternal optimist, and good luck to you for being so! Whatever some people may say, your posts over these past months have kept a flicker of hope burning for some of us.
My philosophy with CSH now is to expect very little and take the chance of being pleasantly surprised. This coming week is probably the most crucial so far in CSH's brief history; let's hope it's good news and will provide the foundations to really build on. If I could just rid myself of these nagging doubts about Masterman I would approach this week with a bit more confidence!
